Slingplayer – the accompanying app for watch-anywhere TV and video streaming gadget Slingbox – is sorely missing an iPhone version. Hopefully, that will soon change now that Sling has submitted the iPhone client to the mercy of Apple’s App Store approvals team.
The Slingbox is a set-top box, connected to your home internet connection and TV set up, letting you stream (or ‘sling’) your Sky, cable tv or Freeview signal across the web, so you can enjoy it anywhere. Slingplayer software lets you receive the signal, and versions are available for Mac, PC, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm platforms.
At Macworld this year, Sling showed off the development version of Slingplayer for iPhone and we nodded appreciatively.
The iPhone is made for something like Slingbox and Slingplayer, and all our digits are entwined in the hope that Apple doesn’t decide that Slingplayer for iPhone breaks one of the super secret App Store rules, rendering it stuck in App Store limbo.
