The one nice piece of the hardware was that you didn't need a net connection to listen. There are places where you dont' get cell coverage, so unless they include buffering 2GB of music, the hardware still has a slight advantage.

I got an earlier version of the hardware (G1, I guess) and even though it is a bit bulky, I really like it. I wouldn't consider consider the functionality of the device alllll that insignificant considering that there are SOME people without Blackberries and iPhones ...right?

Anyway, hopefully outlets will put the G2 on sale for fairly cheap and I can pick it up :) #slackerexitshardwarebusiness

I had the iPhone app first and the G1 second. I would probably buy a Slacker G3 if they made one but sadly that isn't going to happen. I enjoy the music served up by Slacker vs. other online streaming radio services. #slackerexitshardwarebusiness

It seemed like day one that these were just a useless device made only to make money. With apps on Blackberry and iPhone, who really needs this? The industry is going closer to one-device integration, and this is the exact opposite of it. #slackerexitshardwarebusiness

Always seemed interesting to me that they had their own hardware and then developed iPhone and BlackBerry apps. #slackerexitshardwarebusiness

I just downloaded this for my Curve, and it works really well. Not sure why I wasn't using slacker before, but I like the program more than a little!
