Slacker Player, an Internet radio DAP we once thought would kill iPod, is now available for pre-order at the Slacker site for the cool price of $199.00. The Slacker Player comes in 15 (2GB), 25(4GB) or 40 (8GB) stations capacities. There is only one way of enjoying the Slacker Player: by syncing with your PC, which loads your favorites artists to your player. You cannot choose specific songs or artists yourself; the Slacker service will choose them for you. If you know Slacker, they do a pretty good job predicting what music you like. You can, however, refresh personalized stations via WiFi and using the Heart and Ban buttons, you can personalize your Internet radio music on the go. The 25 stations and 40 stations Slacker Device will sell for $249.99 and $299.99 respectively.

I don’t expect this to be an iPod killer, or even a Zune killer. But i really think the Slacker portable is really just touching upon a different segment of the market. I have been using the slacker web player since it’s release in March and have to say if the hardware is upto par with the software then they will have a great combo. Also noted that if they can get the third party support then i think they will have a good following. Slacker also stated that it would not be affected by the recent internet radio royalty price hikes (for now). 10 more days, and we’ll let the reviews come rolling in. Also check out Slacker Social Seems to be a good start to a social backing. I’ll try to post an unboxing and complete review as soon as it arrives.
