What do you all think about the slacker and its potential.  Even
though it dont have exclusive contracts like opie, howard, martha,
oprah...I still think it delivers in the music and cool gadget
department.  Its basically like a pandora on the go.  I was impressed
when I saw it and what they have been doing.

It could steal alot of the hype away from sirius and could be marketed
as the free sat radio device.  I mean if ur looking for music why pay
for it?  Slacker carrys various music genres...?

Never heard of it. If SIRI/XM would allow me to stream to my cellphone
like they do online, people wouldn't need to buy the "slacker" or
whatever its called, or even the huge and gaudy portable sat radio
receivers.

If I can stream an AM radio station that carries 24/7 Bloomberg radio
through my cell internet connection and get a GREAT connection I don't
see why a company that puts satellites in orbit can't offer the same
benefit. IT PLAYS RIGHT OVER WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER. No plugins or
nonsense required.

Well you will hear about the slacker very soon.  And I am sre you will
be impressed.  From what i understand its basically like the largest
database known to man accessible through your device.  Plus you can
eliminate artists and add artists you want played through the day.  IF
you eliminate them you will never have to hear them.  So its strictly
customizable.

I hope sirius starts stepping up with there software programming to
allow consumers to do some cool shit on their portables.  Something
along the lines of discovering new artists and customization.

They Do, I stream Stern on my xv6700 using SiriusCE

To me that looks like nothing more than a lame Ipod.  And their web
site sucks  and its really hard to find any information about it.
