"Sling Media, Inc., a digital lifestyle products company, today announced the release of SlingPlayer™ Mobile as part of a public beta program for Slingbox owners. SlingPlayer Mobile is a new software package that gives Slingbox owners the ability to watch and control their home TV from any network-enabled mobile phone or handheld computer (PDA) powered by Windows Mobile. The SlingPlayer Mobile software available today is compatible with devices that run Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5.0 and 2003 Second Edition. Sling Media will also deliver a version for non-touchscreen devices based on Windows Mobile Smartphone within the next month."
For all you Slingbox users, your mobile client is here - well, in beta, anyway. It's currently a free download from the
Sling Media site, though when released on April 26, it will be priced at $29.99. On the other hand, if you purchase and register a Slingbox prior to April 26, you'll receive a free license - so, get registering! Both
ClintonFitch.com and
pocketnow.com have early reviews of this application.
