At CES in Las Vegas in January I had a chance to sit down with Mike Wong, the Director of SanDisk PR, and we had a very nice long chat about the memory industry trends, etc. In the process of our discussion he presented me with a MP3 player called SlotRadio (SR). A very interesting design and 4GB of Billboard hits of the 80s and the 90s locked on a 4 GB SanDisk microSD card differentiated it from other devices available at any store.

Before I get to the result of my experiment let me tell you more about the product. It comes in a nice CD-sized box containing the manual and the microSD card packed into a very nice, but not-so-easy-to-remove-from plastic container.

Once you pass the removal challenge you insert the card into the microSD slot on your Verizon BlackBerry and open your browser. Go to the provided address and download the application, answer all the questions SanDisk legal advisers thought possible to charge their client for and you are good to go.
