When Slacker was first released, the biggest issue seemed to be battery life and streaming speed.  These issues have been greatly improved as this device progresses.  While many people use Pandora, there is a place for this app on devices.  Approximately a month ago, this program was pushed to all Verizon Tour and Storm devices.  Maybe I will unhide this program and assess my experience with this upgrade.

According to Blackberry Cool, these are the latest updates.

Improved battery life up to 2x (over previous versions) while streaming

Improved usability enhancements to the interface, including a “Home” button to quickly access the station list

Added ability to toggle the explicit content filter (on/off) from the main menu

Addressed an issue where pausing a song for an extended period of time did not properly resume playback

Addressed an issue where phone calls or message alerts would prevent playback from resuming properly for some listeners
