Slacker Radio App for iPod Touch and iPhone

Last week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the U.S.-based interactive Internet radio service company Slacker Radio released Slacker Radio for BlackBerry, and announced that an iPhone cousin was coming out as soon as Apple approved it. You don't have to wait any longer. Slacker today has released its new Slacker Radio application for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Similar to services provided by Pandora Radio and Last.fm, Slacker gives users access to over 100 stations pre-programmed by radio professionals, along with the ability to pick stations based on genre, artist, or to create new stations based on a specific band or artist, which also contain music from similar artists as recommendations.

The app makes the most of Slacker Internet Radio's customary dark, good looks on the iPhone's tall display. The album art is much more prominently displayed here than on the BlackBerry, and the controls take center stage. Slacker for iPod touch allows the user to be able to fine-tune a station while it plays, and pick a new station without terminating the current song.

Choosing the next station is incredibly easy--your favorite and custom stations are at the top of a vertically scrolling list, with a search option, top stations, and the Slacker spotlight just below. You can keep scrolling down to flick through the genres. Slacker Radio for iPod Touch 2G and iPhone is available as a free download from the App Store.
