Slacker Radio is going mobile! Well technically it already went mobile with the Slacker Portable, but now you can get that same service on mobile phone devices. Slacker has just announced a new partnership that brings their radio service to Blackberry.

This application will allow you to stream & cache stations on your Blackberry phone (external MicroSD card required for cache) and have it act just like the desktop software or their G1/G2 portables. Best of all, the basic service is completely free and allows you to listen to over 100 radio stations, or create your own custom station. Check out the features below:

Slacker Mobile for BlackBerry smartphones offers:

• Free music library featuring millions of songs
• High-quality stereo playback from cached stations and all streaming wireless connections
• Over 100 professionally programmed genre stations
• Create custom artist stations
• Station caching for music playback anywhere, greatly improved battery life and accelerated application performance
• Multi-tasking: listen to music while doing email
• View artist biographies and photos
• View album art and reviews
• "Peek Ahead" artist and album preview
• Pause and skip songs
• Rate songs as favorites
• Ban songs and artists you don't like

Slacker just got way cooler in my book for providing this service for free. They're also planning a Slacker App for iPhones which should have the same functionality as the Blackberry version. No word on whether that will be free as well. Click the link below to download the Apps.
