What's Happening with SlingPlayer for Windows Mobile?
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 04:00 PM
"Recently we had posted the news story "The Carriers have Once Again Pulled Out Their Hatchets, the Victim This Time is Sling Media," which talked about the carriers planning to deny Sling Media the permission to operate its video playback service over the cellular network. Thanks to an email note from Jeremy Toeman, VP for Market Development at Sling Media, we are happy to clarify that the SlingPlayer Windows Mobile Version is on track for Q1 2006 launch and it will be available as a direct download for the Slingbox customers. The customers will be able to watch the recorded programs over the carrier network without any restriction. Sling Media is also trying to partner with the carriers to offer joint service plans and that is the service that the carriers haven't cleared, and that is what the original news story was talking about."
Kris, over at Smartphone Thoughts, has some good news about SlingPlayer for Windows Mobile. It's currently on track for a Q1 2006 launch, and will be available for all devices running Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0. So assuming the rules of logical deduction are still in place, we'll see SlingPlayer Mobile sometime this month!
