Portable Internet Radio

This is something new. Internet Radio broadcaster Slacker, has come up with a portable device which can carry your favorite radio stations with you, on its hard disk, or by WiFi or Satellite. Pretty cool.

For now, users can only get to the free streaming radio stations through a browser, but soon will be able to subscribe to a $7.50 per month plan that will eliminate advertisements and the six song per hour skip limit. Farther down the road, Slacker will release a portable device with a 4 inch display and 2 - 120GB storage capacity for between $150 and $350. The device will be able to download and store content via WiFi and USB, and play back streaming content via WiFi or through a Satellite connected docking station for your house or car.

Sounds like they've got a pretty good music library, too. I'm listening to the Classic Rock station now and haven't had to skip a song yet!
