Something Shiny

For those unfamiliar with Slacker Radio, it’s similar to Pandora but with a larger library including some comedy stations, oh yeah, and it has stations (pre-configured genre-based streams that are still configurable via your likes/dislikes).

If you’re a Slacker Radio fan with a WebOS device, check it out. Both of you.

Can’t wait for the Pre? Don’t want to pony up for a new phone when it does come out? Don’t like Sprint? Have a Treo or Centro already? Turn your Treo or Centro into a Pre with TealPoint Software’s TealOS.

It actually looks pretty slick and encorporates a fair number of the WebOS features like cards, the slide up launcher (although the Treos/Centros have hard keys for most of that anyway), and the app launcher drawer.

Since PalmOS doesn’t really support multi tasking, when you flip between cards you’re actually shutting down one app and starting a new one. Still fun though.

You can try it for free or buy it for $14.95
