Slacker offers caching on the iPhone

admin — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 17:17:29 +0000

Slacker seems to have had their answer to the AT&T’s bandwidth on the iPhone ready and ready to go. The latest version of Slacker Radio for the iPhone now supports caching stations for later playback. This will allow you to bulk up on your favorite slacker stations and listen to the in the car, on a jog or anywhere else you might not want to use 3G. It also is a boost to iPod touch users. This begs the question that unless your really want to own a song do you need anything but Slacker? Find the latest Slacker 2.0 in the iTunes store.

Will AT&T’s new Pricing Kill Slacker & Pandora on the iPhone?

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:05:03 +0000

AT&T announced yesterday that starting Monday June 7, 2010 they will no longer be offering unlimited data plans. They will have two plans, 200 MB for $15 a month and 2GB for $25 a month. While these seem restrictive AT&T claims that 98% of their users don’t exceed 2GB so they will now be getting a $5 discount, right?

Will Slacker & Pandora users be hurt by the new plans?

If by one estimate Slacker and Pandora use about 50MB per hour of transmission, then the $15 plan would blow through your allotment in 4 hours of 3G listening. The 2GB plan would give you would give you about 40 hours of listening via 3G. Not bad unless you spend a LOT of time listening in your car where you can’t get wifi access.

9 Hours a Week.

Allowing 4 hours for data, email and other online activities, can you live with just 9 hours a week of turly mobile Internet Radio?

I Want One!

The Sony Dash Internet Alarm Clock. I want one of these. Representing the biggest leap forward in alarm clock history. It's an Internet alarm clock for those who are addicted to Facebook (you know who you are) or Internet Radio, or the weather. Heck, get an online email account and you don't even have to get out of bed when it goes off in the morning. It's based on the Chumby which is one of my favorite gadgets but with twice the screen. Of course at $199 it is a bit pricey but that will come down fast enough.

Rhapsody to offer off-line listening

admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:42:01 +0000

File this under too-little too-late. The online music listening service Rhapsody is planning on offeirn off line listening soon. Sort of like how Slacker has been doing for almost a year already on the Blackberry for free. With Rhapsody you’ll need to have a subscription. That said you downloaded songs can be listened to and accessed from the device as long as the user is subscribed to Rhapsody’s service; once a user drops the subscription, the songs presumably become inoperative. Rhapsody’s planning on submitting it to the App Store “very soon.” Until it lands, users will have to be satisfied with the YouTube video and their existing app. This is certainly a step in the right direction for Rhapsody and great if you want to choose the songs you listen to. Or in this case, rent the songs you want to listen too.

Grooveshark for the Palm & Blackberry but not iPhone

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:22:53 +0000

Grooveshark, the online music service that let’s you type in a song, artist or album and instantly hear the music is going mobile. If you have a Palmpre or Blackberry (sorry Storm owners, won’t work here) you can get Grooveshark Mobile music service for just $3 a month. For those of you moaning that it’s not free it is still $10 cheaper than satellite. Compared to Pandora and Slacker which give you pre-programed streaming music and also have mobile versions, the big difference is that Grooveshark let’s you choose the songs directly.
