More thoughts on Slacker
Unlike FlyCast:
*You can see which song is upcoming
*Cache radio stations for playing when you have no connection. The station is cached to your memory card.
*Create stations based on what artists you like. Such as, I typed in Kid Rock and it has created a station with Kid Rock, ZZ Top, Audioslave, Thin Lizzy, Stone Temple Pilots, Guns N' Roses, etc..This is much like Pandora
*Album art is similar to the iPhone's iPod app
*You can read song reviews and artist biographies within the station
Other things I've noticed, battery life appears to drain less than on FlyCast. Definitely a good thing.
One drawback, and its a minor one seeing how awesome this app is, there are commercials periodically, i notice them when I'm skipping past songs I don't want to hear. I think you get 3 or 4 skips then you have to listen to a commercial.
Slacker has definitely moved to the top of my must have app list. After only a couple hours it is my favorite BB App I've found.
