For those unknown, SlingMedia makes the SlingBox, a place-shifting video streaming box that allows you to stream video content wirelessly. Sling Media had been looking a way to get their coveted software on the iPhone since last April, and finally, they have to pulled it off. Apple’s topical release of the SDK allows developers to get the software onto the iPhone. So, TV fans will soon be watching their favourite shows live on Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch over an Internet connection.
Furthermore, due to its exclusive Wi-Fi connection, the iPod touch could provide a better platform for Slingplayer. The latter shows interest in iPhone chiefly because running the app over the EDGE network normally results in below optimal show. With the 3G iPhone coming soon; it is the minimum required connection for the application. No sooner Apple officially releases the new firmware; we could see a new app from Sling Media in the list.
