Soon after Microsoft s Origami and its Ultra-Mobile PC platform were officially revealed, Sling Media announced a SlingPlayer for the platform. When the UMPC products are delivered, and nobody is mentioning any dates yet, users will be able to remotely view their cable, satellite or PVR programming using this re-worked software. The SlingPlayer application has been customized for a touchscreen user interface and the strange resolutions of these new UMPC devices. Now you’ll be able to watch TV from nearly anywhere on the planet, as long as there’s a broadband connection nearby.
