There are hundreds at my workplace who are waiting for the Blackberry version. We all have dataplans with unlimited download capabilities, but we all keep waiting for Sling to release a version. Why is it taking so long? Make a sling version compatible with ANY Blackberry version and everyone will switch to that model. Devices only last about 12-18 months in a workplace environment anyway.

Any news on the support of the Blackberry devices like the 8700 series. Had some talk a few months back about work starting on the development/support of the Blackberry. Any news at all?

I think the biggest issue is that the Blackberry OS is proprietary and closed...

Yes but thay had already announced a few months back that they had been working on it. But since then I have not heard anything.

Na9D: I think you might be confusing the Blackberry platform with the iPhone (until February, that is). The Blackberry is totally an open platform and RIM encourages development and actively releases SDKs and whatnot.....

Hi Dave,
A bit off topic, but I read that an improved Slingstream 2 will be released. Will it be compatible with the existing Slingboxes, or only work with the new HD (good idea to release a HD version btw 
)
