The iPhone won't play WMV. The solution seems to be the newest Slingplayer due in Q3, their real HD player, because that will sling H.264, which will play on an iPhone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KenC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2008 8:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New SlingPlayer Mobile versions on the way]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/15/new-slingplayer-mobile-versions-on-the-way/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/15/new-slingplayer-mobile-versions-on-the-way/</guid><description><![CDATA[i smell flip4iPhone...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[russ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2008 9:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New SlingPlayer Mobile versions on the way]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/15/new-slingplayer-mobile-versions-on-the-way/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/15/new-slingplayer-mobile-versions-on-the-way/</guid><description><![CDATA[Even if they're working with the iPhone SDK for an iPhone player, Apple has to "approve" them to be a developer to publish the app.  Not only would such an app be a potential bandwidth-hog (as already mentioned), but it would potentially compete with Apple's own iTunes sales.

You just need to plug the video outputs into the slingbox and figure out the remote-control codes.
