Sling Media's Clip+Sling: sling video clips to anyone

by Thomas Ricker, posted Jan 9th 2007 at 9:35PM

Sling Media's already announced the Palm OS client and new Sling Catcher media streamer at this year's CES. Now they've dropped word of an inked deal with CBS that allows Slingbox customers to share short video clips with other Slingboxers as well as the public at-large. Using Clip+Sling, as the new technology is called, SlingBox owners can copy clips from their favorite CBS show or sporting event and post their "SlingClips" to an "interactive portal" which can be accessed by anyone. Interested? Then go ahead and apply for the public beta. Sorry, US only for now. Expect to see the software fully integrated into the desktop and mobile versions of the software by Q2.

I got a few questions here:

1) Will this only work with CBS?
2) How long are the clips?
3) Is there any high res picture of the one above?

Thanks

Hmm.. maybe you Americans have a different financial calendar than we do, but we are already past Q2 of 2007, and even past Q2 of 2008, and this does not seem to be public by any means.

In fact, I've never even heard of anyone being a beta tester of this service. I've signed up for "mReplay Live" beta, which does everything Clip + Sling does, but in a light rich internet application in a browser as opposed to a fully new Slingplayer with necessary firmware updates. But am curious to compare the two providers of this

Anyone know why this hasn't been released, considering this article is over a year old and we are now pasted even Q2 of 2007 and 2008?

Thanks.
