Palm Pre and Android phone owners could be getting some Sling streaming television action if this Sling Media job listing reveals anything. The company is looking for a Mobile Interface Designer who has experience with Android and WebOS applications.
We’ve got word that the previously mentioned SlingPlayer Mobile 1.1 for the iPhone has been approved and will be available in the App Store “imminently.” There’s also clarification that this version is Wi-Fi only.
Sling just submitted the 1.1 version of Slingplayer, which we reviewed here, to the App Store. It’s going to have a 16×9 widescreen, better remote, a faster connection for channel changing and remote control, plus DISH integration.
Local distributors of the Slingbox Digital Products Group hit a couple of hurdles after sending out the announcement that they were releasing the Slingbox in Australia back in March. But, according to an email received by tipster Con, they’re back on track and launching June 1.
We all know that tens of thousands of iPhones streaming TV 3G from their Slingboxes would slow down AT&T’s already saggy network. What we don’t get is how AT&T is justifying their position.
The SlingPlayer iPhone app is finally launching today! It’s going to be $US30, Wi-Fi only (No 3G), but will work with older Slingboxes.
Sling’s updated their SlingPlayer iPhone app page, saying they’re in “close contact” with Apple and are “optimistic” it’ll be approved soon. Sling submitted it over a month ago, so it’s pretty late. [Sling via 9to5Mac]
Sling submitted their iPhone app almost a month ago. Rumours suggested it was rejected altogether thanks to AT&T. Sling says they’ve gotten no word from Apple either way. But it’s definitely looking delayed right now.
That AT&T’s new terms of service for wireless frowns on snagging video over P2P isn’t surprising, but the fact that it effectively prohibits Slinging video to phones is mildly shocking and definitely lame.
