Yeah I'd make sure you have 3g coverage where you are at work though. If not just test it out on a friends and see how good/bad it works...]]>Feb 4th 2010 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/
Didn't think I'd ever say this, but thank you ATT!]]>Feb 4th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/I have a Blackberry Bold on ATT and I have been able to stream Slingbox over 3G for over a year now.

As others have said it works well if you have good 3G coverage. Particularly if you are in a stationary location.

It does just ok when moving in trains or cars. In my experience I lose my connection to my slingbox about every 20 minutes or so if I am in the car, even in well covered 3G areas.]]>Feb 4th 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/I used to use slingbox with my N95 a couple years ago and performance was flawless over 3G.

Sling over AT&T 3G has always worked fine here in San Francisco. I've been doing it the last 2 years with Windows Mobile and Symbian smartphones. Since there are waaay more iPhone users, AT&T had to protect its network. I have no issues watching the Giants game stuck in traffic here in SF.]]>Feb 4th 2010 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/Feb 4th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/Feb 4th 2010 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/Feb 4th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/

I think the entire US is surprised. The only reason I was even excited about the Apple even on the 27th was to see Apple bring a product to Verizon. But yet again, Apple disappointed me.]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/Agree, I can still dream about an iPhone on Verizon announcement with the next iPhone release. ]]>Feb 4th 2010 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/
Why would Apple come to verizon to release a phone to them, they DENIED originally.

Its like shoving it in their face laughing as they count their cash and showing them how much they could of made from this device.

Apple doesn't like Verizon, especially now that recently they are bashing the iPhone and they have a strong android phone already in place.]]>Feb 4th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/

Same here - 3G is actually more reliable (fewer pauses) than WiFi in some places (e.g. my gym).]]>Feb 4th 2010 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/Feb 4th 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/Microsoft Silverlight.]]>Feb 4th 2010 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/Feb 4th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/Feb 4th 2010 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/
