After a few months of intensive beta testing and refinements they have announced the release SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS. It will “officially” support the 3G-capable Treo 755p and 700p but they encourage folks on other Palm platforms to take advantage of their free 30 day trial.

In addition to squashing bugs during beta testing, they have added a few new features based on customer feedback:

• Battery level indicator icon now added to Remote bar
• Ability to add all remote control functions supported by the specific AV device as Favorites shortcuts
• Remote control functions that are not supported by the particular AV device are removed from preset Remote bar to avoid confusion
• Automatic switch into 123 input mode after certain on-screen display functions are executed to enable convenient and immediate navigation on screen. Such on-screen display functions include: Tivo, List, Menu, Program Guide, Settings, Setup, Now Playing, Active, Info/ Display Info, DVD Menu, Setup Menu, Title Menu
• More intuitive arrangement of icons on Remote bar (for DVR device input type only)
• Remote control commands for additional A/V devices incorporated
• Revised Quick Start Tips, and incorporated latest set of keyboard shortcuts under Help screen
• Messaging on availability of newer version of Slingbox firmware

The following issues have been resolved in v1:

• DirecTV “Menu” remote control now functions properly
• Versus channel icon is now sorted in the correct order
• Active video input is now highlighted properly
• Active Slingbox is now marked properly after another Slingbox is deleted from Slingbox Directory

SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS is available the US here and Canada here for a one-time fee of $29.99 USD and $34.99 CAD.
