This is good news for Android users as Slacker launched their app on the Android Market last November.<\/p>\n<p>Users of Slacker Radio will have access to ABC news some time in early 2010.\u00a0 This ABC news content will be available for all, with free membership users having a trial period to experience the content whereas Slacker Plus subscribers will have full access at launch.<span

breaking issues around the country and the world.\u00a0 Good Morning America and Nightline are also going to get into the mix with some segments that will be available for users to listen
