The company is set to unveil new software that adds this capability to its Slingbox hardware product this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. ... The new mobile client, as the software is known, works with any device that uses Microsoft's Windows Mobile Platform versions 4.0 or 5.0. A visual version of a remote control pops up on the screen, making it a fairly straightforward process to choose whether to watch television live from their home cable set-top box or satellite receiver or something recorded on their digital video recorder."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Kris-Jan06-Slingbox.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Jason had reported in his <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,9877">Mobius trip report</a> that Sling Media is working on the Windows Mobile version of the client for its SlingBox. According to this news article they will be releasing the Windows Mobile client this Thursday, January 5th 2005, at the CES. :D If you are not familiar with the SlingBox, you can check out the details over <a href="http://slingmedia.com/slingbox/">here.</a>

I cant wait!
I was sent a form to fill out if I wanted to be on the beta.

Didnt hear from them yet, but either way....I hope there is Smartphone support and not just PPC.

Yup, it's both!

I have to say, I never really knew too much about this - other than encece had one. ;) But once I got the demo at Mobius, I was amazed. I can't wait to get mine hooked up so I can watch the Olympics while at work. :lol:
