Developer’s description: Slacker allows music lovers to play personalized music on the go with the Slacker Mobile application for iPhone, BlackBerry, and soon Android and Windows Mobile. Slacker.com worked with all major music labels and thousands of indie labels to license their content legally, giving music lovers free access to millions of songs, over 100 pre-programmed genre stations (programmed by real expert music DJ’s), thousands of artist stations, or their own custom-created stations. The Slacker Mobile application allows listeners to search for and listen to their favorite artists, while discovering and learning about new artists. Music lovers can create their own “perfect” station based on any number of bands or artists they like. While listening to Slacker on mobile devices, users can view album art and read full band bios, album reviews, and song lyrics. Users can also rate songs (“heart” or “ban”) to further customize their listening experience. Slacker is the only mobile music offering that allows listeners to cache stations, for playback whether they’re connected to a network or not.

Pros: Company switched from selling a hardware device to streaming phone music.

Cons: App is large.

    Looks great, hope it works in Canada. Slacker via the web is not allowed in Canada yet. Would love to have access to this.
