SlingPlayer For iPhone

posted in gadgets, by Codrut Nistor


iPhone, iPhone, and iPhone again...this is what everyone has in mind these days, and I don't see this as being something out of ordinary. After all, we are less than 24 hrs away from the keynote which everyone expects to reveal the 3G iPhone, and in the coming months, maybe even weeks, the old iPhone generation should become available for much lower prices. Good... so considering all the above, we get to the software problem again - is there enough software for the iPhone? Currently, I can't say "yes," but everyone is working on it, including those from SlingMedia...

SlingPlayer iPhone


So, what did they do? If you had no idea about what SlingMedia does, you should know its SlingPlayer software is already available for Macs, PCs and various mobile platforms, and now a version for the iPhone and iPod Touch is headed this way!

This software allows its users to connect their devices to the Slingbox hardware, which enables them to watch live or recorded TV across the Internet. Sounds too cool not to have it on your iPhone or iPod Touch, don't you agree?

The most interesting part is that SlingMedia will release two versions of the software, one for the "jailbroken" iPhones, and the other for the "untouched" ones. Unfortunately, this is going to be available only for pre-release versions, because once SlingPlayer for iPhone and iPod Touch becomes final, you'll only be able to get it through Apple's App Store, where it's obvious you won't find any applications for hacked iPhones.

Since previous experience has proven that SlingPlayer works best with 3G-enabled mobiles, here you have another reason for saving to get a 3G iPhone, as long as we're going to see it popping up tomorrow(everybody is almost sure, but Apple didn't say anything yet. so...)!
