The Slacker G2 is the ultimate lazy person's MP3 player. Paired with the excellent--and free--Slacker music service, it makes new music discovery and enjoyment a nearly effortless process, but control freaks and audiophiles need not apply.

Very Good

| The good: | The Slacker G2 Personal Radio Player works with Slacker's excellent free music service, and it offers built-in Wi-Fi for grabbing new music on-the-go. It features a compact and sturdy design with a large, bright LCD that displays true full-screen album art. |
| The bad: | The Slacker G2 does not offer extra features such as photo and video support, the controls are not completely intuitive, the volume buttons are not very responsive, and sound quality is not great. |
| The bottom line: | The Slacker G2 is the ultimate lazy person's MP3 player. Paired with the excellent--and free--Slacker music service, it makes new music discovery and enjoyment a nearly effortless process, but control freaks and audiophiles need not apply. |
