SlingPlayer Mobile for S60 3rd Coming to America!
by Darla Mack
Just when you think that companies don't listen!!
SlingMedia is in the process of introducing SlingPlayer for S60 3rd edition devices here in the States.
Since it''s first appearance to S60 devices on 3's network as part of the Xseries bundle, users in the know have wondered why we American's couldn't share in the joy.
I'm curious to see how this works. Imaginge... portable TV in my pocket! Well those questions have been answered.
Requirements:
Slingbox
- Any model
S60 phone:
- Nokia N75
- Nokia N95 (used on a US network)
- Nokia E65 (used on a US network)
-
Other models won't be supported at this time, but feel free to apply if
your Symbian phone is 3G or Wi-fi; high-demand of other models will
help guide us to support future releases.
Carrier:
- Pretty much just AT&T and T-Mobile for now,
as the S60 phones require a GSM network
- Unlimited data plan is a MUST

FINALLY.... I have been waiting for this one for a long time and the lack of S60 support was the only reason that kept me from buying Slingbox.

I just thought that you might like to know that the SlingPlayer for symbian app has been out for ages with 3. Here's the link the the x-series.rar arhive with Slingplayer in it: http://www.todayon3g.co.uk/downloads/x-series.rar

I've not seen any followups. I know they dont want anyone to talk about it but I doubt anyone has a new client. I would expect to see people say they're testing at least.
