Sling Media Offers Mobile TV
Sling Media Inc. made good on a plan to offer TV viewers a way to watch shows and recorded video on their cellular phones, announcing the official launch of “SlingPlayer Mobile.”
The San Mateo, Calif.-based company released the mobile-software client product in beta version earlier this year. Owners of “Slingbox” TV devices -- which already allow them to view their TV content from a computer outside of the home -- can now stream that content onto mobile devices based on Microsoft Corp.’s “Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5.0” or “Windows 2003 Second Edition” operating systems.
A version for non-touch-screen devices based on “Windows Mobile Smartphone” is due out later this quarter.
The SlingPlayer Mobile software is now available for download from the company’s Web site (www.slingmedia.com) for a free 30-day trial. Customers who bought and registered their Slingbox on or before April 26 will receive a free license for the mobile extension software, while new customers can opt to pay $29.99.
