Posted by Darius Wey in "SOFTWARE" @ 07:00 PM
"SlingPlayer Mobile is a new software package that gives Slingbox owners the ability to watch and control their home TV from any network-enabled mobile phone or handheld computer (PDA) powered by Windows Mobile. The SlingPlayer Mobile software available today is compatible with devices that run Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5.0 and 2003 Second Edition. Sling Media will deliver a version for non-touchscreen devices based on Windows Mobile Smartphone later this quarter... SlingPlayer Mobile gives consumers their entire home TV experience, including local channels, local sports teams, video on demand, pay per view, etc. Any program that you can watch on your sofa back home, you can now watch via your Windows Mobile-based device anywhere you can get a standard network connection (3G Cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth or even USB). In addition, SlingPlayer Mobile users can also control their home digital video recorder (DVR) to watch recorded shows, pause, rewind, and fast forward live TV, or even queue new recordings while on the road."
SlingPlayer Mobile for Pocket PCs is now out of beta and available for all to enjoy. If you're one of the many Slingbox owners who have registered their Slingbox on or before April 26, 2006, you have a free license for SlingPlayer Mobile. If you're not, you'll have to pay a one-time fee of $29.99 for the privilege.
