BlackBerry (Storm, Curve, Bold Tour) Updates 2day: Slacker Radio 3.0 with Cache

by

BLackberrySlacKerRadio.jpgSlacker has updated Slacker Radio to 3.0
for BlackBerry smartphones. BlackBerry users can now cache their favorite Slacker stations wirelessly to enjoy personalized radio on-the-go regardless
if they are still connected to a wireless network or not.

The new version of Slacker Radio has enhanced touch features for BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Storm2.  It also works on the BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Tour and all current BlackBerry smartphohnes. We previously named Slacker Radio our BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Tour Apps of the Day.

With
Slacker Radio 3.0 and a Slacker Radio Plus subscription, music
enthusiasts using a BlackBerry smartphone can wirelessly cache their
favorite stations simply by selecting "Cache Station" from the menu
within the application. Listeners can choose to manually cache their
favorite stations or use "Auto Refresh," enabling BlackBerry
smartphones to automatically wake during overnight charging and refresh
station content, providing new music daily with no additional effort.

Slacker Radio 3.0 for BlackBerry updates include :

  • Updated interface.
  • Faster application startup time.
  • Significantly smaller application size.
  • Improved touch interface for BlackBerry Storm
  • Greatly improved battery life.
  • New settings menu options.
  • Tabbed info view for lyrics, reviews and biographies.
  • Context Aware - click a highlighted artist name in a text message or email to enable direct launch of a related Slacker station.
  • Create custom stations based on artists or songs.
  • View album art and photos.
  • Rate songs as favorites.
  • Ban the songs and artists you don't like.

Cached
stations are stored on the memory card of the BlackBerry smartphone and
can be played on subways, planes and all destinations in between with
no network drop-outs and minimal battery usage. Along with
station-storing capabilities, Slacker Radio Plus features ad-free
listening, song lyrics, unlimited song skipping, unlimited song
requests and more.

Listeners
of the free Slacker Basic Radio service will be able to play cached
stations for up to 14 days, providing the opportunity to try the full
benefits of station caching on their BlackBerry smartphone, risk-free.

"BlackBerry smartphone users can now benefit from the convenience of wirelessly caching their favorite Slacker stations," said Jonathan Sasse,
senior vice president of marketing at Slacker. "This addition makes it
even easier to store music directly on their smartphones to get the
most out of the Slacker Radio experience and truly listen to their
music everywhere they go."

The
millions who listen to the free Slacker Basic Radio service will
continue to enjoy an unparalleled music experience with new
enhancements in the 3.0 version, including improved battery life,
faster application startup and an updated interface. With access to a
song library that is nearly four times the size of the leading
competitor, BlackBerry smartphone owners can use Slacker Basic Radio or
Slacker Radio Plus to create their own Personal Radio stations or
listen to and personalize over 120 expert-programmed genre stations.
