Hey you, rabid Palm OS fan, 700p owner, and Sling advocate -- remember that
SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS Beta you signed up for last month? Well, it's time to lose a little more sleep over it, but this time you'll be enjoying the niceties of streaming media on your handset instead of sweating the release date. According to SlingCommunity, the beta will be going live today, and will
officially support the 3G-enabled Treo
700p, but "early reports" are suggesting that
680 owners may be able to enjoy limited success even without Sling's stamp of approval. Of course, the beta will remain free of charge until a public release is ready to rock, and then you'll have the option of cutting ties or ponying up the $29.99 purchase price to keep on slinging. Additionally, the kind folks over at UneasySilence have done the
hard work for you already, so be sure to hit them up for a nicely appointed pictorial walkthrough while your waiting to get your own install on.

Just used on my sprint phone and it works really well I guess I can cancel that sprint tv crap I have and just drop the 29 bucks on this, overall a good trade I knew my sling box would come in handy at some point!

Mr. Uneasywhateverit is broke Sling Media's embargo - no person who had been trusted with the special media Beta was allowed to post a review before Sling said "go" (the reviews were supposed to be held and timed for release with the release of the public Beta).. and he knew it and did it anyway, forcing Sling execs into an angry, unexpected, mad rush to notify other journalists to go ahead and publish their reviews.. proving once again that there's always one rotten apple in the basket who'll ruin a company's well-crafted plans for his own glorification
