Sling Media launched a beta of SlingPlayer Mobile, which allows Slingbox owners to stream their live television feeds and recorded programs over their high-speed Internet connections to handsets running on Windows Mobile 5.0 and Pocket PC 2003 SE.
I do not own a Slingbox but apparently a lot of consumers do and these guys are advertising on the radio like crazy. The Wireless Carriers are sure to get their noses out of joint regarding this technology as it is a competitive TV offering to their own services. Frankly, they should be embracing these technologies because it drives data usage which should be their #1 concern - not worrying about making the $2 per month on TV subscriptions.
For those of you who are interested in learning more, David Pogue of the NY Times has a great write up here.
