Updated SlingPlayer Mobile clients now available

by Chris Ziegler, posted Apr 29th 2008 at 12:00PM

Remember those refreshed Sling apps we mentioned not long ago? They've finished baking and they're ready for prime time (sorry, BlackBerry users, we don't mean you -- not yet, anyway). The players for Windows Mobile, both Professional and Standard editions, now rest at version 1.6 while the S60 player gets upped to 1.1; changes are relatively minor, but notable, the Nokia N95 8GB is now officially supported (even though the old player worked pretty well) along with a slew of new WinMo pieces and set-top boxes, video quality is improved on some devices, new channel logos are included, and some "under the hood tweaks." The update is available now and free for existing SlingPlayer Mobile users; newbs, meanwhile, pay a $30 one-time pop.

Meh, still no N800/N810 player so still of no use to me.

Sony's Location Free is a bust! Please for the love of Pete (whoever he is) release a PSP compatible Sling Player. Even an um, alpha, or beta version that "accidentally" you know, falls off of the Dev truck on to the Internets? ;^)...
