Watch TV on Your Smartphone with Sling Media Mobile
The video spokesguy on Sling Media Mobile says he likes to watch the game on his mobilephone and pretends that he is texting, because “Texting in a meeting is not nearly as rude as watching TV in a meeting.”
Now there are more handsets that support Sling Media Mobile that lets you watch the programming from your TV on any Sling compatible device. At CTIA they will be adding Sony Ericsson and Nokia device support.
Sling Media nnounced SlingPlayer Mobile for UIQ on Symbian OS that will bring their mobile TV experience
to this popular smartphone platform. Separately, Sling Media is
announcing that its existing SlingPlayer Mobile for S60 on Symbian OS
will soon support Nokia’s popular N95 8GB, which will also be
demonstrated at CTIA.
This adds to their list of the most popular smartphones available in the U.S. and in Europe. Sling Media expects to release SlingPlayer Mobile for UIQ worldwide this summer and expects the new version of SlingPlayer Mobile for S60 to be available this spring.
The personalized mobile TV experience for smartphones is enabled by the award-winning Slingbox, which allows customers to watch and control their home TV on an Internet-connected Mac or PC as well as a range of mobile phone platforms including Symbian OS, Windows Mobile, Palm OS and coming soon, BlackBerry.
Sling Media expects to support the following UIQ handsets at launch and will continue to expand handset support thereafter.
- Sony Ericsson P1i
- Sony Ericsson P990i
- Sony Ericsson W960i
- Sony Ericsson W950i
- Sony Ericsson M600i
