All I have to say is that it is about bloody time. I have been waiting for over a year for this to happen. As a matter of fact I was so mad that nothing was coming down the pipeline that I was in the process of setting up my Orb account to view tv through my IPhone. However, I much prefer using my current slingbox and its interface. Now I will be able to watch 24 where ever I am. This will also like triple the membership for SlingBox.
Sling Media Talks SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone, SlingPlayer for Mac Prototype at Macworld
Categories: News, Rumors and Gossip SlingPlayer Mobile iPhone / iPod Touch
Sling Media is demonstrating a version of SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone being developed for the iTunes store right now at Macworld. Sling Media will deliver a version of SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone to Apple for certification in Q1. The price has not been determined at this time.
They're also unveiling a prototype of the new SlingPlayer for Mac HD which allows Slingbox PRO-HD users to stream HD content to their Mac desktop or laptop computer. The new SlingPlayer for Mac HD is a web-based version of the SlingPlayer software that will be accessible from Sling.com, Sling Media’s recently launched video entertainment web site.
SlingPlayer for Mac HD will be available for free via the web-based SlingPlayer within Sling.com later in Q1. Mac customers will be able to use either Safari or Firefox web browsers to get both HD streaming and Live TV within Sling.com.
“SlingPlayer Mobile is ideally suited for the iPhone's large touch screen display and I know iPhone users are eagerly anticipating the application's availability,” said Blake Krikorian, co-founder and CEO of Sling Media. “Add to that HD streaming support for Slingbox PRO-HD customers and live TV support on our video entertainment site, Sling.com, and you can see Sling Media is committed to delivering great solutions for Mac users.”
For those attending, Sling Media can be found in two locations at this year’s Macworld: The Mac Developer Pavilion- South Hall, #1438 (next to Apple) and the Digital Media and Multimedia Pavilion: North Hall #3526-Q.

About time. Now we just have to wait for AT&T to build their 3G network out and quit crashing the data network. I have a feeling come March I will be a whole lot less productive. It would be nice for a hint of the price of this App.

The price point sounds right to me... why change it if people are dying for it.

I would hope that every owner of a sling box would get one free copy of the mobile and if you want additional copies, then $30 is not unreasoable.
They should include it on the original price and include an itunes card for the amount of one purchase towards the mobile client. People can buy the additional apps.

April is almost here..! any word when it will be released...?
I saw a demo for SlingGuide which lets you record and view programs.
I hope that not the iphone app.
After the Apple announcement last week, which included more than 1000 new APIs and some of them were more controls for Video, Is this going to delay the release of the sling player App until after 3.0 is available..?
Does anyone know when we should see the Sling player app..?

Its a bit rich charging for this app i think! Esp when iPlayer is completely free for iPhone...
