SlingMedia has updated its SlingPlayer Mobile app for the iPhone bringing. It has some improvements for the interface and speed including 16X9 support for some Sling Boxes (SOLO, PRO, and PRO-HD).
“There has been some confusion lately regarding whether this version would have 3G in the rest of the world which I’d like to clear up. 1.1 was always Wi-Fi only. We submitted another version of the app that works on 3G that is intended for the rest of the world. We have not heard back from Apple on that app yet, and will keep you posted.”
Unfortunately, SlingPlayer Mobile still only allows streaming over Wi-Fi, maintaining a limitation imposed on the initial version at the request of AT&T, which feared that allowing such uses on its 3G network would lead to congestion and service disruptions. The SlingPlayer application costs $29.99 and is available for purchase from the App Store now.
