Ipod Killer? It’s not really in the same field as the ipod, one plays MP3s and the other plays Internet Radio. I think what he wanted to say was “Radio Killer”. Granted you can store your MP3s on the Slacker I doubt anyone that gets it will say it’s better than the Ipod to ANY extent. Though it is an awesome player they are not 1 in the same to be compared.

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 http://www.slackersocial.com 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.
