After working 13 days on the road, followed by 48 hours of R&R (Halo 3-style), I’m ready to get back to some blogging. It’s obviously been a very exciting couple weeks at Sling Media (my place of employment), so here’s a quick roundup of September news in chronological order:
Sling Collaborates with DirecTV on NFL Supercast
EchoStar to Acquire Sling Media
Introducing Slingbox SOLO
Slingbox PRO Heads Across the Pond
SlingPlayer Mobile for Symbian Released
SlingPlayer Mobile for Blackberry Under Development
Yes, it’s true – we’re exploring Slinging to the Blackberry platform and feel good with our progress. I’ll go ahead and quote myself from the Sling Community:
You wouldn’t believe some of the cool stuff going on in our labs! But we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves… Blackberry support, as with any new Sling platform, is a major engineering undertaking and it’ll be some time before we have a product suitable for release.
Bonus Coverage: We’ve also refreshed our Sling Media web site, launched a Clip+Sling teaser, and intend to fully support Palm’s new Centro.
