Yes EDGE sux a lot but if you look at some of the pictures there is one with the connection settings for the blackberry and the max bitrate is set at 120 ( probably kbps ).<br><a href="http://www.engadget.com/gallery/slingbox-pro-hd-blackberry-slingplayer-hands-ons/557194/" rel="nofollow">http://www.engadget.com/gallery/slingbox-pro-hd-blackberry-slingplayer-hands-ons/557194/</a><br>Now last I checked edge has no problem supporting that. The problem however is that Apple like always would like to control everything and I doubt Sling will go for that.

I mostly use it around the house to watch live or recorded cable shows on my MacBook Pro.  I'm using an "n" WiFi network so I guess it should be able to handle the higher data rates.  I haven't had a single problem with the SlingBox Pro, so far.  It's a handy device.<br><br>I certainly wouldn't mind if they developed a SlingPlayer for the iPod Touch, but I guess that will have to wait until well after the SDK is released.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Constable Odo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 4th 2008 1:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sling Media's Slingbox PRO HD, SlingPlayer for BlackBerry announced]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/sling-medias-slingbox-pro-hd-slingplayer-for-blackberry-announ/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/sling-medias-slingbox-pro-hd-slingplayer-for-blackberry-announ/</guid><description><![CDATA[I see this device as only relevant over your home network with the Slingcatcher, if that ever comes out.
