SlingPlayer Mobile For iPhone Finally On Its Way, WiFi Only
May 12, 2009
The long wait for SlingPlayer Mobile for the iPhone seems to be nearly over. The Internet has been abuzz all morning with news that Sling Media is finally ready to take the wraps off of its highly anticipated application, but it seems to have gone through a couple changes thanks to AT&T and Apple.
SlingPlayer Mobile for the iPhone will not only support current Slingboxes, which includes the Pro-HD and Solo models, but it will also work with legacy Slingboxes like the Classic, AV, and Tuner models. The only difference is that the legacy models won't be officially supported, as in if you have trouble with the device, don't go calling Sling Media.
Adding unofficial support for the legacy devices may be their way of saying sorry for not including any 3G or EDGE support, which has now been stripped from the application, so SlingPlayer Mobile will only feature WiFi connectivity.
SlingPlayer Mobile for the iPhone is said to be priced at $29.99, and it should be hitting the App Store sometime after midnight.
