SlingPlayer Mobile coming to BlackBerry

by Evan Blass posted Sep 27th 2007 at 11:51AM

As if we weren't already overwhelmed with Sling news lately -- what with the EchoStar acquisition, Slingbox SOLO launch, and SlingPlayer Mobile for Symbian moving out of beta -- we've just gotten word that the company is working with RIM to develop a BlackBerry-compatible version of its client. Pocket-lint reportedly got the scoop straight from the horse's mouth, with European VP Stuart Collingswood confirming the joint effort but giving no indication of a release timetable. Besides S60, Sling also currently supports Palm and both the Smartphone and Pocket PC versions of Windows Mobile in the handset space.

This, my friends, is the greatest thing I have heard ALL YEAR! I have been waiting to hear this FOR SOOOO LONG! I was about to switch back to a WM device just so I could have my Sling-- it looks like thank heavens I won't have to! Praise the Lord!
