The Slacker G2 is a portable radio player that has no subscription and no need to transfer digital files for new music. The Slacker G2 plays music you choose from radio stations on Slacker.com - and the music is all FREE!Create a personal radio station on Slacker.com by adding bands that you like. The site will automatically find music you might like that you can also add. The cheaper Slacker G2 ($200) holds 25 radio stations. The device holds 2,500 songs so when you hook the Slacker G2 to your PC or Mac, the songs from your personal radio station transfer to the device.
Another cool thing about the Slacker G2 is that you can refresh all of the songs on the device with new songs just by hooking it up to your computer or by using WiFi.

There were some problems such as the device shutting down without explanation and the fact that the device takes a really long time to refresh songs (it's recommended to refresh your playlist overnight).
Despite these problems I think the Slacker G2 has lots of potential. Being able to download free songs from a variety of different radio stations and ALSO being able to put these songs on a portable music player to take with you anywhere is awesome!
However, the Slacker G2 is no iPod so I would probably shell out $200 toward a new iTouch (or even better, an iPhone!) instead of a Slacker G2 - even though the music is free. It's just the price I have to pay for wanting to be one of the cool kids.
