Looks like Zatz got the goods from the folks at Sling, who have a few interesting tidbits currently in the development pipe. Zatz not Funny is reporting that Sling's Mobile Product Marketing Manager, Dave Eyler, has told him that the company is "actively moving towards H.264" and Silverlight support, as well as delivering streaming with resolutions beyond the current 320x240. Though there are no firm details or timelines yet, this means we should definitely be expecting SlingPlayer Mobile versions for the iPad and Windows Phone 7 Series. While Sling says it won't have anything ready for the iPad's launch, we've got our fingers crossed that we'll see it soon.
Well, you have to say that a version for the iPad was a given since it should be trivially easy for Sling to create a version for a higher resolution. A version for Windows Phone 7, however, is new and certainly more interesting news.
Man... I think I'm going to end up buying one of these things. 3G or wifi is the question
@ghostdog If your decision is based at all on Sling, go with 3G, and the unlimited plan. You will be SHREDDING through data using Sling.
sling is the KING of vaporware. nothing they announce sees the light of day for YEARS.
Why wont the iphone sling app work on the ipad? I thought that "most" iphone apps would would on the ipad!
