Slingbox Mobile available for download, hurry before they start charging |
I saw that Slingbox finally has their mobile client available but I wasn’t aware that they planned on charging for it.
Thanks jkontherun:
The program is free for registered Slingbox customers and those who register by April 26th, after which SlingPlayer Mobile will cost $29.99.
I downloaded and then tried to install on my Pocket PC with SandDisk WiFI SD card. Connection was as basic as entering in the Slingbox Finder ID and password. Unfortunately, my son decided to fire up the Xbox and unplug the internet from the Slingbox about the time I was configuring so I got the following message:
At first I thought I had my configuration out of whack, but then I realized it wasn’t any technical issue, it was that Halo2 has greater powers 
You’ll know when everything is hooked up because you’ll see a screen which looks like this folllowed by the word “connecting”:
All in all a great user experience. I might actually start learning to appreciate watching TV on a smaller screen.
Did this post make you go hmm?
