Slingbox ready for the iPhone and iPod Touch

9 June 2008 12:41 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 1 comment

Sling Media has shown off proof that they have created a software application that will allow iPhone and iPod Touch users to access their Slingbox machines via the media devices.

The company says the software is still in pre-Alpha stage of development but eventually Slingbox users will be able to access their satellite and Freeview channels from the media devices using a Wi-Fi connection at home.

Sling Media hopes to have a fully working app available by the end of 2008 and it could be sold through the new iPhone Apps store that is set to launch later this month.

One issue with that however, is that Sling is currently not an approved Apple developer. That could change in the future though.

and slingbox continue to offer a great product, but for how long before the MPAA start to think of ways to charge us all again, seems there is only the one off payment with the slingbox. The BPI Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI. The RIAA Soundexchange Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI. The IFPI Are: The same anti consumer lot as listed above! The MPAA Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, DISNEY, PARAMOUNT, FOX. [ + quote] This message has been edited since posting. Last time this message was edited on 9 June 2008 12:54
