When will Sling be available on the iPhone through WiFi or AT&T? Is this just a promised carrot and vapor wear or are there real dates of when I can expect it to be available? Perhaps yet this year or is it into 2008 or 2009?
When was it promised??
Slinging Tivo Series 2, Tivo HD, and TW cable from a Pro. Slinging Tivo HD from a Solo, Slinging Humax DRT800, and TW cable from a Classic to Sprint Mogul, AT&T SX66, N62, 8525, and Dell Inspiron 8600 with Sprint EVDO over Windstream DSL.
I doubt that they will make an iphone version until the people at apple get their heads out of their butts and make a 3.5G or even 3G version of the iphone. That being said, I recently read that apple is planning a 3g version for the summer of 2008.
I think there could certainly be a 2.5 G version, I had very good luck with a DASH, which is running on the t-mo 2.5G network, and it was quite acceptable at 130-140kps. I think having used the iphone since June, that the ATT 2.5 G EDGE network is superior to the T-mobile network. As well, I think the much faster processor on the iphone is going to make quite a differance.
Studies have shown that as far as websurfing experience goes, the biggest impact between a 2.5g and 3G network can be the processor and not so much the download throughput. Of course, downloading larger files and such, this isn't true. But, for the web surfind experience I think it is.
Add to that the RUMOR that slingmedia got the SDK early.
Add to that the FACT that DaveZ has added the iphone to his stable of devices.
