The update improves compatibility with these particular phones, including optimizations for the screen's resolution. The update is available through open enrollment in the private beta program. Instructions to apply for the beta are located here. The Samsung Blackjack is also an oddball in the Smartphone area, and according to Sharon, an update will be going into private beta soon."</i><br /><br />Sling seems to be moving a little slower on these updates than they did in the past. :? It's nice to see that they supporting the new nad different devices. Sadly, I missed doing a Sling Mobile demo at a party on the weekend because I didn't have a compatible version on my new BlackJack. I hope they can tweak the process a little and get these out the door quicker in the future. Anyway, I look forward to having a working client before the holiday parties hit full swing. :D

SlingMobile works on the Blackjack if you lower the resolution? Weren't you the one who told me that? And you missed a chance to recruit new Smartphone users!!??? :)

I know it worked on the i320 like that. I didn't realize it worked on the BlackJack too and I didn't try either. D'oh! :?
