The BlackBerry version also allows mulit-tasking of email, IM or browsing, while listening to Slacker.

The application, which is compatible with BlackBerry Device Software version 4.3 and higher is available as a free download by visiting Slacker.com from your BlackBerry smartphone.

They will release ta BlackBerry Storm version shortly. While FlyCast already has a BlackBerry Storm version of their app.

We spoke to the Slacker spokesman who said that the advantages of Slacker over Pandora are that the radio stations are programmed by DJs who have years of experience picking and mixing music and Slacker has a larger database of songs.

The Slacker music service enables listeners to enjoy Personal Radio stations and hear their favorite music without ever having to manage playlists or research new artists. Included in the Slacker application for BlackBerry smartphones are detailed artist bios and album reviews for each song that is played, providing the ultimate resource for music discovery. The Slacker Mobile application works with the free Slacker Basic Radio service, along with Slacker Radio Plus and Slacker Premium Radio subscription offerings.
