Pros: endless selection of free music, lots of station choices, make your own station, beautiful screen, older model G1 is very affordable. Also, this thing shines when coupled with an iRiver FM transmitter in the car...
Cons: Oddly designed buttons, finicky scroll wheel, odd touch bar controls. The design could have been better, but probably created to leave the screen uncluttered.
Hints: If you purchase the G1 model over the newer G2 model, only load 1 station the first time. This allows for a quick refresh and lets the portable radio update the firmware. This is CRITICAL! The firmware it ships with is very buggy. After the installation of new firmware and the loading of one station, do a factory reset. You will then have to reload your stations, but it should go much more smoothly. I was ready to throw this thing up against the wall before I figured all this out and just want to save someone else the grief!

I got the first generation Slacker while looking for an inexpensive player that I could dock at home to replace FM radio, I live & work in the City and get a lot of static even with a decent FM radio antenna.
I'm a regular Pandora user before I discovered Slacker, using both apps on Iphone while docked and connected to my home audio was great, but I hated the regular interruptions when I get calls on my cell.
Comparing my FM radio (Static) & Slacker is no brainer, Slacker G1 is the clear winner, but I personally think that the Iphone or probably Ipod touch produced slightly fuller and clearer sound than my Slacker G1, specially at low volume, but for the price and the portability without needing a WIFI is a plus for Slacker G1.
Pros:
No need for WIFI when using as portable player on the road, the player downloads and save the playlist on your player to enjoy, you could select your stations and refresh the songs at your command.
Easy set up, interface & software are easy to use, need minimal effort to enjoy.
For the Price (Less than $100) & features, it's a great player.
Nice bright LCD that could be dimed and the time limit to save battery life is a plus.
Good battery life.
Easy set up and connection to WIFI.
Cons:
Sound quality is not as good compare to my Iphone or Ipod, produced a slight hiss specially when the volume is low, still better than the sound of static.
Touch strip is a joke, you could do without it, just leave it on OFF, it's under setting.
The volume control could be in a better location.
The player looks good but feels cheap, especially the buttons.
Can't seem to find the docking for G1, probably discontinued.
Conclusion:
For the price and portability, after using it for a week, I would recommend the player with minimal reservations. If you like playing Pandora and can't afford the Logitech squeezebox, tired of playing the same playlist on your Itune, static from FM radio.....this one is for you, be an excellent slacker. Enjoy !

This radio is nice, the music sounds near-CD quality, and the stations have amazing music. The problem? The device. It slows down in functionality, meaning that if you press a button it could take 5 seconds to respond. Probably the software, so you reset it and let it refresh the stations for 2 hours. The battery life is good. But, the device began to add crazier and crazier. Also, if you're planning on refreshing the radio through the USB, forget it, the driver doesn't work. You'll have to connect to the router wirelessly. But, it erases the web key constantly because this things is full of bugs. Also, if have near a computer that connects wireless, this radio's wifi will disconnect the computers in the room because of its antenna. So, all in all, this device acts with a mind of its own. Mind is even broken at the moment, but I'm planning on using the warranty. Let's hope the warranty is gonna solve the problem, which is why I'm not that angry will writing this.

I'm a long-time Slacker listener at work and find the service better than even my own music collection so I was looking forward to playing Slacker streams through my home stereo. Unfortunately, this product was a complete disappointment. While the basic idea of a Slacker radio is compelling, there are so may bugs with the product it is unusable.
- The physical packaging and controls are from the last century and create error conditions that require frequent resets
- The station refresh process freezes most times it is initiated by the device
- The communications software that talks to Slacker hangs frequently
- If you have wireless, connecting the G1 via USB to an Internet-connected computer creates complete havoc with it's little software brain
In short, it's a version one-dot-oh product that is now an orphan. Given its multitude of problems, the G1 is just a nice, clunky MP3 player -- if you can buy it cheap enough.

Those that love music, especially commercial free and played FM style, with unpredictable lists, then this is for you. My unit, the G1, was certainly a surprise, with Artists Bio, Album Bio, ect... But, when it developed a glitch, a few weeks later, I had trouble getting warranty information, specifically where to send the darned thing to get it fixed. They still haven't told me where I can send it. But, anyway, the product itself is awesome when it works. Watch that reflash.
