A SlingPlayer Android app has finally been revealed, almost a year and a half after we broke the news that TV streaming company Sling Media was considering the platform. It’s out in the Summer, but we’ve got video of it in action right here!
So Santa’s left you a mobile-shaped treat under the tree, has he? What is it? An iPhone? An Android-packing smartie? The latest Symbian-friendly Nokia? Or perhaps a BlackBerry or Windows Mobile cell?

The week is winding down now but all the latest tech news sure isn’t: we’ve got it all right here for you plonked down on a plate in the lunchtime lowdown, so read on to see what’s been happening.
Remember SlingPlayer, the iPhone app that lets you remotely view whatever’s on your home TV (via a Slingbox)? Well, it’s looking all set for an upgraded 1.1 version – but there’s still no 3G support.
Slingplayer – the iPhone client that lets you watch video streamed from a Slingbox set-top box – has had its 3G support removed, as we reported yesterday. US mobile carrier AT&T has admited what many have suspected – it asked Apple to remove the 3G function.
Slingplayer – Sling Media’s iPhone client app – has been a long time coming, but the TV viewer app has finally passed the App Store approvals process. Sadly, the app will be crippled when it hits the App Store tomorrow.
Remember last week’s revelations that the upcoming SlingPlayer for iPhone app would only work with newer Slingbox models like the Slingbox SOLO and Slingbox PRO? Well, Sling Media has decided to make it easier for owners of older models to upgrade by offering them a £25 discount.
