SlingPlayer Mobile Gets Updated For Windows Mobile and Symbian

Sling's just rolled out new versions of their SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Mobile (both versions) and Symbian S60. It's a free upgrade for current users and adds support for new handsets (Nokia N95, Samsung i760, Treo 500v, etc.) and improves streaming quality (Sprint Mogul) on others. We went to a car wash this weekend and had 10 minutes of downtime. TEN MINUTES! This should ensure that never happens again. [Sling]

SlingPlayer TV-on-Cellphone Coming For Symbian UIQ This Summer

Just as Sling announced a few weeks ago, their Slingplayer cellphone player is getting added support for Symbian UIQ devices this summer. Among the sets being supported are the Sony Ericsson P1i, P990i, W960i, W950i and M600i, along with Moto's MOTORIZR Z8. You'll be able to see it in person at CTIA coming up next week, but won't be able to stream episodes of Lost on it until summer—but by then the TV season would already be over. [Slingplayer]

New Windows Mobile Slingplayer Coming Soon (iPhone Version a Possibility)

Sling's set to release an updated Slingplayer this spring for Windows Mobile on both the touchscreen and non-touchscreen versions, with the new features being more optimized supports for newer handsets. They're also working on an optimized Nokia N95 8GB client, and going to expand their stand-alone Symbian clients to include UIQ support as well. What probably interests people more than optimizing an already-existing client is the possible introduction of a new client for the iPhone, which Sling tells us they're currently evaluating the iPhone SDK for. TV on the iPhone's generous screen means you'll never be bored again.

Hands-on With Slingplayer Mobile, BlackBerry Version

The last of the major smartphone operating systems, RIM's BlackBerry, has finally received support for SlingPlayer Mobile. Not only can stock brokers, businessmen, bankers, analysts and other jerks email their co-workers at their lunch meetings, they now can catch the game at the same time. We demoed this earlier in the week for ourselves, and saw that the quality was actually very good, even over EDGE. More »

Sling Steps Outside With SlingPlayer Mobile for Symbian S60

SlingPlayer mobile, the app that lets you watch all your TV shows on your cellphone streamed from your SlingBox, has just launched in the US for $29, Canada for $34, and the UK for £19. It's the same basic functionality—although this has streaming support over 3G and/or Wi-Fi and landscape fullscreen support—but now supporting Nokia N95, N75, and E65. Good news for N95 users as well, as Sling's going to provide the client free to all owners. Now there's absolutely no excuse to cry spoiler alert when people talk about Heroes the next morning if you can watch it while you drive to work. [Slingmedia]

Yes, they're late to the game, but Sling Media has finally released a SlingPlayer Mobile beta for all you Palm OS fans out there. You'll need a Treo 700p, 680, 650, or a Palm TX to run the beta, but it'll be nice to join the ever-growing crowd of mobile Slingers. Testing will start next week with a second wave of testers rolling out the following week. As for all you RIM owners out there, sit tight. Your ship may be coming soon. – Louis Ramirez More »
