But it really seems like this company is phoning it in. Their remote profiles are outdated, the boxes get rare updates, and sometimes I wonder if they're even still in business. They're out of stock of their own product on their website, months after it's been released.]]>Mar 30th 2010 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/

...and iPad users will end up shelling out at least $30 for the SlingPlayer app because the iPad doesn't run a proper web browser with Flash support. On a laptop I can just venture over to Sling.com and with a small plug-in be connecting to my SlingBox. Boy, this "no Flash support" is really gonna add up for those iPad users that actually want to do stuff with their iPad.

Bending over...there's an app for that.]]>Mar 30th 2010 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Mar 30th 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Mar 30th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Mar 30th 2010 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/

Given the volumes of iPhones that have been sold, I honestly don't think that people think that Flash support is as important as people here think it is. Flash is not a "killer app" because it is something that you don't even think about, possibly until it is too late. Google Navigation, however, is something that customers would find much more interesting.]]>Mar 30th 2010 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Yeah I'm sure nobody on the iPhone went to a website with flash video and asked himself, "Hey, why isn't this working?"]]>Mar 30th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/
Help me understand why the iphone will obliterate WP7? Lets set our clocks back to when the first gen iphone came out. How did the iphone workout without those feature. Mega numbers. Im not saying thats what WP7 will do when it launches but for you to say it will obliterate is a terrible call. Why does it have to be one or another in these threads. You guys are killing me.]]>Mar 30th 2010 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Help you understand? If you need help understanding the difference between the iPhone's competition in 2007, and WP7S's competition in 2010, then I'm afraid, no, I can't help you.]]>Mar 30th 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/
It was a hypothetical question chap...

I understand the competition very well. You did not answer on why the iphone will obliterate the WP7. Dont give me or anyone else the "it doesnt have this or that" argument but instead a thorough analysis as if you were pitching it to investors on why we should long or short the two companies.

I say the iphone wont obliterate WP7 or any other OS for that matter. How many Americans to date have a smart phone? Not all 300 million (give or take) We can both agree on that. lets say a quarter or close to half the americans have a smartphone. How many does that leave left? There is enough room for APPL, MSFT, and GOOG to grab their share of consumers remaining.

Lets also look at it like this. How many people (broke college students, poverty stricken consumers, thirfty shoppers) will want to pony up a couple of hundred for a iPhone? That leaves MSFT, GOOG. The average Joe will go the free phone LG, Samsung, or HTC will provide (GOOG, MSFT) with a two year extension.

I hate to break it to you but competition is going no where.]]>Mar 30th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Mar 30th 2010 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/

I believe that you have a choice of displaying the application (which, in the case of the Sling Player, should include the video it is showing) at either its native resolution or upscaled. Either way you aren't going to get an image as good as a native iPad app will display but I expect that it is better than nothing if you don't want to pay for the application again.]]>Mar 30th 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Mar 30th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Said they would support Android almost 2 years ago.
Entire operating systems have been coded in the time it takes them to make a streaming video player. They must have some real idiots working for them. Also where's support for the HD2 and other WM 6.5 devices out now? Hm? Palm Pre? Symbian S60v5? Do yourself a favor, if you're thinking about getting a slingbox -- don't. They have the worst support ever and are very slow to give updates, if at all.]]>Mar 30th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/Mar 30th 2010 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/sling-working-on-player-for-ipad-windows-phone-7-series/
