Slacker has done nothing but grow since the beginning,  They have gone from self producing their devices to creating awesome applications for the popular iPhone and Blackberry.  Now Slacker has added a new device to its arsenal.  The X-Series Walkman from Sony.

Yesterday Sony unveiled its top-of-the-line Walkman Video MP3 player – the X-series Walkman.   This is a premium portable entertainment device that Sony hopes will rival Apples iPod and Microsofts Zune.  The X-Series  is Wi-Fi enabled and features an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) touch screen, Sony’s Digital Clear Audio Technologies, as well as embedded content provided by Slacker Radio and YouTube.  That’s right…..Slacker comes standard!  This will give the Internet radio provider even more exposure, and is sure to bring more Slacker fans to the forefront.

“The new X-series leverages Sony’s engineering heritage and integrates the latest advances in OLED and other innovative technologies.  We focused on enhancing audio and video playback to develop a device that
allows consumers a deeper, more interactive way to enjoy content, as well as discover new content, for a truly unique entertainment experience.”
