iWant: Slacker Personal Internet Radio Device

February 12th, 2008

Well, Folks, after a brief haitus (ok, so it was a month, sue me) iWantTech is back in full swing!


First order of business, The Slacker Portable Internet Radio





From the Slacker.com page:

The World's first Personal Radio Player


Personalized Radio

Slacker is the world's greatest personalized radio service. With over 2 million songs and powerful personalization features, Slacker makes it easy to listen to the music you love. Slacker stations are all delivered in CD-quality sound, and come with high resolution album art, artist images, album reviews and artist biographies.

Everywhere

When your Slacker Portable is in Wi-Fi range or connected to your PC, it automatically connects to your account, figures out which songs it needs to keep your stations fresh, and saves them. Since the Slacker Portable plays from the saved radio library, your stations play everywhere you go, whether you are in Wi-Fi range or not.

For Free

Best of all, the music is free. Thousands of fresh new songs that match your taste in music are automatically saved on your player every time you connect. And you don't have to pay a dime. All you need to do is buy the Slacker Portable.

Sounds like an ingenous idea to me. You've all probably heard of the program PANDORA, (www.pandora.com) part of the music genome project. If not, you need to check it out.
So, here's a way for you to take customized stations (much like Pandora) on the go.

enjoy!
