Slacker G2
A surrogate for your too-hip nephew, the Slacker G2 creates custom "radio stations" from your musical preferences. Tell it you like the Stones, the Kinks, and the Who, and it'll mix in complementary tracks from those artists, the Beatles, and others.
Introduces new music that you'll like. Vast music catalog draws from range of styles. Custom stations and ratings for your own touch. Good audio quality
Sluggish G2 interface. Unwieldy Web interface. Lacks Mac utility to play your own music. Too many features held from subscription-free users. Can't rewind tracks. Wi-Fi doesn't work with hidden networks
While its interface often disappoints, the Slacker G2 rocks as a music guide. Your iPod is still the headliner, but the Slacker G2, as an opening act, shows potential.

Customizable stations, diverse genres/musicians, wifi refreshes, 100% portable, small, free music, no need to be in wifi zone to use, no monthly fee (unless premium service), tons of pros really.
No video support, music videos would have been nice on this screen, USB refreshes were dicey (supposedly firmware update has fixed this issue)
