Slacker Radio Updated: BlackBerry Storm Now Supported!

Slacker Radio, the powerful app that lets you listen to over 100 stations (or create your own custom stations) right on your BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM)… has been updated. This latest update brings about one major inclusion: It’s now available for the BlackBerry Storm!
Other notable updates in the latest version include:
- Improved battery life up to 2x (over previous versions) while streaming (Slacker has seen Storm devices playing up to 9 hours over 3G with this build)
- 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
You can grab your copy of Slacker Radio from App World. It’s free.

Huh? Slacker has worked great on the Storm since the Storm came out. This update improves how it runs on the Storm, but to imply that this update brings Slacker to the Storm is plain wrong.
