Slacker made good on its word given in September to produce a mobile version of its streaming Internet radio for BlackBerry. The special sauce? Slacker Radio for BlackBerry caches songs as they play, allowing you to store stations on your Micro SD card and play them back sans Internet connection, while you fiddle with e-mail, texts, and games. Yowza! Slacker Radio for iPhone should be available any day.
