This is something I'm really looking forward to.... How about an iPhone/touch client?

According to c|net News, Sling Media, makers of the SlingBox, one of the coolest gadgets to come out in the passed few years, is finally going to release a SlingPlayer mobile client for the BlackBerry.

The software–which allows live TV to be streamed from any SlingBox model–is designed for broadband-enabled (3G wireless or Wi-Fi) Blackberry smartphones.

Sling Media plans to demonstrate the software, which will set you back $30 when released later this year, on a BlackBerry 8120 next week at CES.

This is a rumor I like to hear....

SlingBox: MLB=NO NHL=YES

NHL signs on with Sling Media's upcoming video clip-sharing service

So the MLB last week was up in arms over the fact that a Slingbox allowed you to watch out of market games. Now the NHL has announced it's on board with a new SlingBox enhancement that will allow users to share clips of media they watch on a slingbox.

It's exciting to hear SlingBox is unveiling something new. It will be intereting to see how it's implimented. Also will be intereting to see all the media company lawsuits that get filed over it.
