For a long time now Sling Media has been stating they are working with RIM to develop a slingbox that will work with blackberry devices, Slingbox CEO Blake Krikorian even brought this up on his recent appearence on the GigaOM show, seems as though that may be coming sooner then later as the people over at Pocket Lint are reporting, a comment from their recent posting states that people who've seen the application working are "blown away by the performance".
SOURCE SOURCE09-28-07 05:33 AM - I used Sling player on Verizon with EVDO so connection speeds were great. - But on a 700W with only 240 by 240 resolution. The image was very sharp - but small. The only real problem I had was trying to read a football or baseball score in those little boxes at the top of the screen. If you stayed in one place ( like an airport waiting area) you could watch for a long tme without any problems. If you were in a car (not driving of course) the stream might get hung up periodically. You frequently could still hear the audio but the image would freeze. (That is an option even if you have a weaker signal or slower connection). It would correct itself but then it might freeze up again a few miles down the road.
All in all though it was great - and it had a huge WoW factor for impressing others.
