I would love to hear their explanation for denying the 3G version while approving the wifi version. After all, it's not a duplication of features like the rationale used for Skype. They won't have much to support a denial.
We submitted another version of the app that works on 3G that is intended for the rest of the world. We have not heard back from Apple on that app yet, and will keep you posted.
Talk to Google- they might know something about that...
SONY should write a similar app for their LocationFree player (very similar to Slingbox) and make it free. Maybe it would jumpstart sales of their device and software which currently lets you watch on your lappy, PC, PSP. I'd much rather watch on my iPod Touch than my PSP just because it is so much lighter/smaller.
So now, after I bought a SOLO to replace my AV so I could use this app, they say it works with the AV. Plus, it's $30. I don't mind that it doesn't work with 3G because I have an iPod Touch, but $30! There goes the rest of my iTunes gift certificate. This sucks.
@Steven Strell: If you bought your new unit SOLELY so you could use this app, then I suppose that's what you get for basing that decision on pre-release rumors rather than waiting to see what the actual release would bring. I feel for you but, really, what was the rush?
@Pixelologist: Needing a Solo or Pro model to run this app are NOT pre-release rumors. They are the specs that have been listed on Sling's website for over two months now.
I guess I just don't get it? I have a 57" LCoS at home with surround sound and all the whiz bangs. Why would I want to watch a TV show or movie on a 4" screen?!
Hmm, If this is approved, with me getting my first iPhone a couple weeks ago, it might tempt me to see if I can find a cheap Sling. Having TV everywhere sounds nice to me.
It better be....AT&T needs to stop dictating what can and can't get approved to Apple. Fuck you AT&T. You shouldn't be able to stop me from using Sling through your network either....
@SamburgerHandwich: Popular theory is ATT required the Skype app to be WiFi only for fear of tying up their bandwith and not charging by the minute for it.

You know there's other fantasy literature out there, right?
