Subject: Have you guys seen this???
Here's a review:http://www.maximumpc.com/article/slacker_portable_radio

Here's the website:   http://www.slacker.com

The review makes it sound pretty good, looks decent, then on slacker.com... it's over $200 for 4 GB!?

I don't know how they intend to sell these.  It'd almost have to be a companion to another player or a software package you added on to your regular player, for me to even consider it.

It reads like you can't put your own files on it, at all.   Nothing about file types it uses.  Very little about the hardware features.

Maybe one of you guys with cash to burn, will like it.

I've been waiting for this thing for awhile.  If I have some extra cash I might be interested in picking the small portable player.

Really? $200 for a 2 gig player? I think I'll be passing on that one. Neat idea that's sadly going to be killed by greed.

Agreed. It's like having Pandora.com in your pocket.

Good idea, bad pricepoint.
