Slacker Radio is putting out the rapid fire version upgrades. I thought that I was downloading version 3.0.458, however, they had already updated to 3.0.459.
You can pick Slacker Radio by heading to http://www.slacker.com on your device.

Just a little over a week ago we heard that Verizon was pushing Slacker Radio to the BlackBerry Storm. It looks like Verizon BlackBerry Tour users are getting the same treatment. We haven’t seen a press release (yet) like we did when Verizon started pushing Slacker to the Storm, however, enough BlackBerry Tour users have told me that a new icon for Slacker has appeared on their device after rebooting it for me to believe that this is true.
By the by… For those of you that don’t want Slacker, the application is not actually pushed to you as it is just an icon for the installer. If you don’t want it, simply hide the icon once it appears.

Ever since the launch of the BlackBerry 8800, BlackBerry devices have been pretty capable at playing music. The BlackBerry Media Player GIU interface is less than desirable, however, the hardware itself functions adaquately as an MP3 player.
If you were to ask me if I listen to music on my BlackBerry I would answer all the time. I don’t think, however, that I’ve ever listened to an MP3 on my BlackBerry Storm beyond the sample “World Traveler” track which came on installed on the device.
So, how do I listen to music all of the time on my BlackBerry with out ever playing MP3 files? Well, it turns out that most of the newer model BlackBerrydevices just happen to make pretty darn good internet radios.
