While many people are talking about the App Store hitting one billion downloads, Slacker Radio reports that it has surpassed the 1 million download mark for the BlackBerry Smartphones as well. BlackBerry enthusiasts cite many reasons for choosing Slacker, including a music library with four times as many songs and the high-fidelity audio on Slacker vs. the inferior mono audio of a leading competitor.

In addition, Slacker offers the only Personal Radio application that enables listeners to store their favorite stations on their memory card so they can listen whether they are connected to a wireless network or not. Cached stations provide better application performance and reduce battery requirements by as much as five times.

BlackBerry smartphone owners can create their own custom stations with all of their favorite artists and songs or listen to over 100 expert-programmed Slacker stations. Listeners can also read detailed artist biographies, album reviews and lyrics for songs, providing a powerful resource for music discovery.

The Slacker Radio App for BlackBerry smartphones is available as a free download on BlackBerry App World or by visiting Slacker.com from your BlackBerry(R) Browser.
