SlingPlayer for BlackBerry


And you thought BlackBerry was an enteprise email device! Sling Media has announced that SlingPlayer Mobile software will run on RIM BlackBerry smart phones. Sling Media will release SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry later this year.

SlingPlayer Mobile will be available for a one-time charge of $29.99. If you're thinking about doing this, make sure you have a device with Wi-Fi, such as the Curve. Sure, you might be able to watch using your carrier's data plan. But depending on where you are, and who your carrier is, the results might not be worth bothering with. Even Wi-Fi connections are going to be difficult in hotel and other settings.

If you are tempted to do this in the office, remember that IT is going to figure out pretty quickly that network congestion has gone way up, and why.
