The G2 offers a unique solution for owners who don't want to be bothered by constantly refreshing their music manually.


Highs: Endless free music; lightweight; useful accessories

Lows: Sluggish interface; expensive; earphones lack bass; poor interface for non-slacker files

Where to buy:

Introduction

After racking up generally positive reviews for its first-generation portable Internet radio player, but getting dinged on size by just about everyone, Slacker has tried to recreate the functionality of the original in a much smaller package with the Slacker G2. Promising a continuous feed of fresh music without the effort of selecting it yourself, the G2 delivers on bringing the online Slacker experience mobile, and in a much more reasonable size, but suffers from a terribly clunky input wheel, a sluggish interface, and pricing that makes Apple’s boutique product line look cheap.
