RIM announces Slacker Radio, MySpace, Microsoft Live Search coming soon to a BlackBerry near you

RIM has recently announced some upcoming new apps that will soon be available for the BlackBerry lineup. Personally some of this new support it not really all that exciting, but everyone has their personal taste and I am sure others will be a little happier than myself.

First up, I will lead off with the one I am most excited by, well at least if I were a regular BlackBerry user anyway, of course this could possible entice me to pick up a BlackBerry Curve of Bold as a secondary device. Anyway the app is for Slacker Radio and the nice part with this service, is that unlike some other streaming radio services this content will be cached on your device meaning you will not need 3G to get a good listening experience, of course an external storage card will most likely come in handy. As we told you about in our recent Slacker Radio review you can opt for the free service or the premium service which will set you back $7.50 a month. This should prove to be very nice for those lucky enough to have an aux-in jack on their car stereo.
