Slacker Mobile Radio for Blackberry Storm [Free Download Now Available]

Looking for access to mobile radio whilst out and about? Got a
Blackberry Storm Smartphone? If so, you may be interested in the newly
announced (and free) Slacker Mobile application developed specifically
for the Blackberry Storm which, according to Slacker’s press
release, allows users to ‘listen to their favorite Slacker radio
stations anywhere they go, whether they are connected to a wireless
network or not’.

Granting access to just under 100 separate Slacker stations and over
10,000 artist stations or ‘nearly unlimited number of the
listener’s own custom-created stations’ (isn’t
something either unlimited or limited - is their such a thing as
‘nearly unlimited’?), the Slacker Mobile Radio application
for the Blackberry Storm is especially interesting as it brings a new
Blackberry only feature to the able in allowing users to store whichever
stations they want to the Storm’s memory card - hence facilitating
the aforementioned ability to listen to Slacker broadcasts even whilst
off-line (which, slacker’s press release claims, can reduce
battery life consumption by up to five times in comparison to continuous
on-line audio streaming).

‘The Slacker Mobile application for the BlackBerry Storm offers an
engaging and intuitive mobile listening experience that takes full
advantage of its unique features,’ said Dennis Mudd, CEO of
Slacker. ‘With an intuitive touch screen interface as well as
station caching, BlackBerry Storm owners can now easily enjoy their
favorite music wherever they go.’
