Screen Size on HTC Touch Pro2

Yea well iPhone is cool but I would not give this phone up at 3.6 and 800x480 is way better that an iPhone! I have lots of movies I converted for PSP They work the best on this phone even clearier then PSP. We just need Slingmedia guys to and the tab for 368x288 and increase bit rate to 800kbps in mobile player And I hope they are aware of the HTC Leo aka:HTC HD2 released 10/6/2009 it has a 4.3 inch screen 800 x 600 resolution, 1 GHz chip and will probably be 4G network

Choppy video

Tiakon — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:36:01 GMT

Slingplayer mobile used to work very well on my Verizon SMT5800....Now, over the last several weeks, the video is choppy unless I have the MENU screen visible. Then the video (at least what is showing from around the MENU window is full-motion...no choppy video. But when I close out of the MENU screen.....choppy video returns. Any ideas?

V1.1 of SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone Hits the App Store - No 3G Streaming for Anyone

Matt Whitlock — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 02:25:29 GMT

The word on the street last week was that Sling was looking to push through an updated version of the popular, yet controversial, iPhone SlingPlayer app through the App Store. Rumor had it v1.1 would offer up enhanced control of Dish Network receivers, full screen support for 16:9 material, and 3G streaming capability for anyone outside of AT&T's US cellular empire. The new SlingPlayer app has just hit the App store, and it turns out all had been true... except for the 3G part apparently. According to our friends over at Engadget , Sling has apparently submitted a 3G version for use outside the US (contrary to what we've heard through the grapevine, but have been unable to verify), but is still held up in Apple's "keep-ya-guessing" approval process. In any event, there's an updated app waiting for you ($30 for new users, free for those running 1.0). Give it a whirl, and tell us your thoughts in the comments area below.

Google Voice Rejection Ignites FCC Probe Into AT&T/Apple iPhone Exclusivity Agreement

Matt Whitlock — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 04:07:57 GMT

Earlier this evening, word spread that the Federal Communications Commission is investigating Apple and AT&T regarding the recent rejection of Google's Voice application for the iPhone. At the heart of this investigation is the very nature of the exclusivity agreement between AT&T and Apple, and whether or not that agreement is hurting consumers, limiting choice, and hindering innovation. According to reports, the FCC sent a letter to each of the three involved companies, in which contain all of the tough questions Slingers have been asking since the SlingPlayer app for iPhone was apparently stripped of any ability to use AT&T's 3G network in order to be approved. Here are just a few of the tough questions being asked: Does AT&T play a hand in which apps ultimately get approved? Does Apple and AT&T have standing contracts or agreements in regards to what apps can use the AT&T 3G network? What are the standards for considering and approving iPhone applications? Do any devices that operate on AT&T’s network allow use of other applications that have been rejected for the iPhone? There are more... a whole lot more. TechCrunch managed to obtain copies of the three letters and posted them on their...

I was thinking about purchasing one of these handheld PC's because I travel alot, but was wondering if slingmobile app will run on the Windows 5.0 CE operating system. The device has a screen resolution of 480 x 272 (16:9), and I know that this has caused an issue with other devices where the resolution is not supported but the OS is. Can anyone give me a definitive answer please?
