    Slacker

    When we had our surprise hands-on with the Slacker for iPhone application a few days ago, the rep mentioned that it could be available “as soon as tomorrow”. Well, just a mere 5 tomorrows later, their prophecy has come true. Apple has greenlit the application, and now nothing stands between you and the customized internet radio goodness.


    What it can do:

    -Free music library featuring millions of songs
    -High-quality stereo playback from any wireless connection
    -Over 100 professionally programmed genre stations
    -Create custom artist stations
    -Fine tune stations to play more of the music you like
    -View artist biographies and photos
    -View album art and reviews
    -”Peek Ahead” artist and album preview
    -Pause and skip songs
    -Rate songs as favorites
    -Ban the songs and artists you don’t like

    What it can’t do:

    - Fight bears
    - Solve criminal mysteries

    Even if you’re a hardcore Pandora (or last.fm) devout, Slacker has plenty of features that make it worth checking out. Nab it from your local Stevie J’s Tunes and Vids here.
