They may have pulled version 2.0.39. I am running it and have reported a number of minor issues to Slacker Support.

But if you cache alot of stations it uses a huge amount of space. I have 10 stations cached and that takes a gig of space on the SD card. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to try to download that much over 3G.

When I go to download it directs me to version 2.0.12 How is this a new version? I’ve had it on my Storm for over a month.

I’m with you Ronen. It’s silly that I can’t cache to my Storm or Tour over EV-DO Rev A. That’s plenty fast enough for the minimal bitrate files Slacker plays. Forcing me to connect to PC seems so 20th Century…

They need to let us cache over wifi or even 3G

The “PC-Based application” is for the caching feature that saves on battery and data usage while playing Slacker. Good luck caching with Pandora……

I don’t like the fact that Slacker creates an autotun file that initiates a PC-based application when you connect your BlackBerry to your PC using a USB cable. I’ll stick with Pandora for now…
