Although I was woe to discover licensing issues prevented us poor Canadians from enjoying the sweet, sweet, customized mobile music Slacker had to offer, they are now supporting the BlackBerry Storm. Although it has taken a little while to catch up, it seems like third-party software developers are getting around to adapting their apps for the distinctly new operating system. RIM has traditionally stuck to one roughly interchangeable OS across all of their devices, but even though the Storm might push a little extra legwork on those software developers, the new form factor and interface opens up plenty of doors as well. To give Slacker a shot on the Storm, head over to www.slacker.com/blackberry.
