SlingPlayer Mobile heads to Symbian?

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 28th 2006 at 5:54AM

Well, lookey here: a Symbian logo hiding out in a little, out-of-the-way corner of the box for Sling Media's new Slingbox AV. If we had cash riding on it, we'd guess this means an S60 version of SlingPlayer Mobile is getting ready to roll. Don't get us wrong, a UIQ client would be cool too, but seeing how S60 handsets outnumber their UIQ counterparts by, like, a bazillion to one, we don't want to get our M600 pals too fired up until we get the full scoop.

The only thing stopping me from getting a slingbox, is that it doesn't work with Palm OS. That Sux!

Just like the publically available slingplayer for OS X, that page on the box does not exist:

http://www.slingmedia.com/compatibility

Too bad. OS X client = placing my order

I can't find anything that mentions what Symbian OS SlingPlayer will support. If it's S60, would that be v2 only? How about v3 for the new fangled Nokia badboys? What are the device requirements? Just saying "Now we support Symbian!" is about as useful as saying, "Now we support COMPUTERS!"

The thing is... they still don't actually have a released player for Mac. They've been promising it for over a year, and still haven't released a working beta to the public. I wouldn't count on this box meaning much until you actually see a download link on their site.

I wouldn't put too much credance in a download link, because they had one for the Mac client, but no download. Slinbox, please...A Palm client!!!
