It's a little pricey at $7.50/month, but it's still a lot cheaper than XM or Sirius (and I should know, since I have both). Last week Slacker announced that their portable music players are available for pre-order (and will begin shipping Dec. 13). I've already pre-ordered one of the 8GB units. Basically it's like an iPod but it stores up to 40 Slacker stations on it, and it updates itself via USB or WiFi. Next year they're going to release a "car kit" that allows you to update your stations via ku-band satellite as well! Dave. Anonymous,

True, you can only skip 6 songs per hour per station. But, since there are like 10k stations, when I "get stuck with Kenny Rogers" I just switch to a similar artist station and keep on skipping.
