The only way to strike back is to boycott the iPhone, App store and iTunes until it hurts Apple and AT&T so much financially that they do something about it. Also if you don't buy a new ipohne this Summer, you strike a blow to both AT&T and Apple. It is time they learn that we the customers are in power not them. They must give us what we want. So let's start up a grass roots effort and boycott both companies. If we can elect our first African-American president via grass roots i'm sure we can teach these 2 fat, greedy companies that they can not get away with this.
Even if you don't care about Sling, your invested in this as it's just a matter of time before they pull some other crap that effects you.
FIGHT BACK, BOYCOTT APPLE AND AT&T. SAY NO TO NEW IPHONES THIS SUMMER!!!!
The irony here is that, if AT&T approved 3G use for Sling, it wouldn't friggin work anyway in most cities because it would be way too bogged down with network traffic.
@redman042: Or maybe the real irony is that AT&T has plenty of bandwidth if your purchase their streaming television services. Actually, that wouldn't be irony it'd be antitrust.
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?!
@axiomatic: Apple has nothing to do with it. We (Sling) are still developing the iPhone client and it is coming along nicely. When it is complete we'll submit it to the App Store like everyone else.
