| Sling Media's New Version of SlingPlayer Mobile Sling Media, Inc. has announced a public beta program for its new version of SlingPlayer Mobile for devices based on the Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition operating system. Now Slingbox owners can watch and control their home TV from any network-enabled mobile phone or handheld computer (PDA) powered by Windows Mobile. This new software is compatible with devices that run Microsoft's Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition version 5.0. SlingPlayer Mobile gives consumers their entire home TV experience, including local channels, local sports teams, video on demand, pay per view, etc. Any program that you can watch on your sofa back home, you can now watch via your Windows Mobile-based device. In addition, SlingPlayer Mobile users can also control their home digital video recorder (DVR) to watch recorded shows, pause, rewind, and fast forward live TV, or even queue new recordings while on the road. The Slingbox is a consumer electronics product that enables consumers to watch their living room TV programming from wherever they are by turning virtually any Internet-connected Windows-based laptop or desktop and any Windows Mobile-based device into a personal TV. The Slingbox redirects, or "placeshifts", a single live TV stream from a cable box, satellite receiver, or DVR to the viewer's PC-located anywhere in the home or anywhere in the world, via the Internet. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
