I heard word from Kevin C Tofel of jkOnTheRun that Slacker Radio was coming to webOS, so I hustled on over there and got a demo. Good news: it’s almost completely baked and should be available within a month or so. Bad news: Slacker announced that they’d be offering offline access to music for a variety of platforms, but webOS isn’t going to be one of them at launch.
Still and all – it looks like a solid music stream app to me,
Confused? Here’s the score: Slacker is a music streaming service much like Pandora. However, Slacker offers a few benefits like curated genres, a much larger music library (nearly four times the size of the ‘leading competitor,’ they say), and a pro account you can pay for that will let give you even greater control over your music. I don’t want to say that Pandora has been getting a little stale in the music that it has been offering me lately ….but I just said it.
Those BlackBerry kids have been loving Slacker for some time now — soon webOS users will be able to join in the fun.
