<\/a><\/p>\nGood news for fans of Slacker<\/a>, the service that streams music to both computers and handsets. The software is officially supported on webOS<\/a> and available in the Palm App Catalog for Pre and Pixi devices. The webOS version joins Android, BlackBerry and iPhone handsets. Although I got a sneak peek at CES, here’s a feature list in case you missed it.<\/p>\n I’d provide my own impressions since Slacker is now installed on my Palm Pre, except for one small, but key detail — I don’t have<\/em><\/strong> my Palm Pre. “Of course Slacker\u00a0rocks. And the app functions much like you\u2019d expect it to. Although, as a webOS n00b, I\u2019ve had to get used to finger swiping in lieu of tapping a back button. Otherwise, it\u2019s quite comparable to\u00a0their other mobile apps \u2013 a wide variety of \u201cradio\u201d stations and the option of upgrading to a paid subscription (~$50\/yr) to display song lyrics, provide unlimited skips, and do away with all advertising.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’d don’t see any mention of offline song caching in either the press release or in Dave’s overview, so that’s something I’d like to see added in a future release. Last I heard, that functionality — which originally was specific to BlackBerry devices — is now in the iPhone and Android apps. Since I’m a “turn off the juice when not in use<\/a>” kind of guy, I’m all for some Airplane Mode with Slacker tunes.<\/p>\n Good news for fans of Slacker, the service that streams music to both computers and handsets.
