Sweet, I have it downloaded and installed.

Looks like the only thing it doesn't support is caching of the stations to the device.

When you click on ban it pop up comes up and ask you want to ban the artist or the song. I LOVE THAT! Even the Slacker portable doesn't offer that features.

It doesn't tell you what artist is coming up next though, which to me isn't that big of a deal. But you can use the touch screen to slide forward to the next song which is cool.

It will be interesting to see how stable it is over time.

Yeah I noticed that and if you slide it over it goes to that next song, but just from that little piece I can't see what the actual next artist is. Can you?

It depends on the artist...my signal in the office blows (the building is a cell phone vortex...possibly because I'm 3 blocks from the White House). I have not tried to turn it sideways to see if it turns as well. No worries, it's awesome!

BTW, love the Slacker dock in your Scion...nice work! No room in my Saab for it, but the G2 rests nicely near my stick shift. I like the dock...the G2 looks very, very cool in it!

Enjoy the day...gotta finish some work so I can play with my new app!

Yes it does, in fact it even shows the album cover of whats coming up next. Take a look at the Album cover of whats playing and you will notice another album behing it on the right, slide it and you can see the artist and also the album cover (just dont pull it all the way or it will skip the song your listening to and will start playing the next song.)

I was with Ryan from Orbitcast at the showstoppers event in Las Vegas last thursday night, when were were shown a demo of the iPhone client, we were both very excited to see it.

I love slacker.

Yeah, I love it too....

I guess maybe I worded that wrong in that I should have said that it doesn't show you on the display without actually moving the album art to the side to see it. But YES it does indeed show it. It is a very cool so far and I've been playing with it a great deal and not a single crash yet. I can't say the same for the Pandora Software and they are version 2.0.

The little > at the top and bottom of the screen. One goes to the station info and allows you to change and/or change your fine tuning settings. The one on the bottom actually takes you to song and artist bio info. Very Nice!

I do find that it buffers for a couple of seconds between songs, but it's pretty seamless in that it is really no different than the portable in terms of time between songs.

Slackers Dev team did a good job!

Sounds great, not as good as G2, but the trade off is convenience.

No equalizer, but that's OK.

Very slick, and cool.

Boy, I love Slacker....
