Last night at the Digital Experience sideshow over at Caesars (featuring piles o’ crab cakes and lobster spring rolls), I spent a few minutes with the Sling folks and touched some of the new stuff. The PalmOS player seems entirely functional (we connected to a Slingbox broadcasting from the Golden Gate Bridge?!), though the skin/GUI isn’t complete. I also got a closer look at the SlingCatcher. The flat white piece in the third photo is the optional hard drive accessory that the Catcher will sit on (it looks like they’ll connect via USB).
I have a thorough briefing planned this AM by the Sling folks, though they slipped and let me in on to two pretty interesting announcements coming: one today, one tomorrow. I’ll share more when I get a bit more info and clearance to post.

i want one yesterday.
Looks good – I’m sure they have it working on the 650 and 680 too, not just the 700p… Right? (The 700w & 750 are Windows Mobile based.) I wouldn’t expect it to run on the 600 or earlier models (low res screens).
If you want to refer a beta tester to Sling… ;-)
