SlingPlayer coming to BlackBerry phones

Making good on a promise made at CES 2008, Sling Media has announced that a beta version of the company's SlingPlayer Mobile software will be available on select BlackBerry smartphones starting December 30.

BlackBerry users who own the Bold, Curve 8900 & 8320, 8820, Pearl Flip 8220, and Pearl 8120 will be able to stream video to their smartphone using a Slingbox device.

The download requires BlackBerry device software 4.5 or higher and will be free for a limited time. We'd imagine once the beta lifts, all users will be required to pay the one-time fee of $30.

Sling Media is recommending a Wi-Fi connection for optimal viewing performance on some of the BlackBerry models (that support it); otherwise, a high-speed data connection will be needed.

Not sure if your device is compatible? Point your BlackBerry browser to http://mobile.slingmedia.com/go/bbcheck and let Sling Media tell you if it is.

When is the iPhone app coming???

BB Storm too, I hope!

Sorry, not the Storm just yet, but it is planned.

old news, HAVA from Monsoon has had this feature. What would be innovative if either of these companies would show some love for the iphone.

[megazone]

As far as I know HAVA does not support BlackBerry. They have a Windows desktop client and mobile clients for Windows Mobile, Symbian S60, and Nokia Internet Tablets. Sling has desktop players for Windows and Mac, and mobile clients for Windows Mobile, Symbian S60, Symbian UIQ, Palm OS, and BlackBerry about to hit - and iPhone is in development, more news next month. There is also the web-based SlingPlayer that is part of Sling.com. (For the record I work for Sling. I'm a Beta Program Manager, running the BlackBerry beta currently.)
