Slacker Portable Radio Player gets Devicescape wifi feature
Below is announcement regarding new capabilities for the Slacker Portable Radio Player that allows it to instantly access hundreds of thousands Wi-Fi hotspots that normally require a password or web-based login.
Current owners of the Slacker Portable Player will be able to get Devicescape functionality through a free firmware update available today - a simple station refresh will automatically update all existing players. All new Slacker Portable Players will ship enabled with the latest features.
The Slacker Portable can now instantly access hundreds of thousands Wi-Fi hotspots that normally require a password or web-based login. Devicescape automates the process of accessing Wi-Fi hotspots making it simple for Slacker Portable users to refresh their Personal Radio stations at hotspots all over town as well as favorite places, such as Starbucks and McDonalds.
“What makes the Slacker Portable one of the most innovative digital audio players in the market is its wireless connectivity allowing listeners to automatically refresh their Personal Radio stations,” said Rob Enderle, Principal Analyst for the Enderle Group. “With connectivity key to the Slacker experience, it makes sense for them to partner with Devicescape to make that connectivity easy to use and easy to find.”

This is the greatest thing since FM radio. Free service, new music easily refreshed, great music selection. It has quickly become a “must have” device for me.

Yes. I would feel the same way too if this worked in Asia.
