slingplayer Sling Media was recently criticized by some for not having a WM6 compatible client available yet. The thing is, not many people even had Windows Mobile 6 (Legally) on a device. I did, but I understand that it takes time to do these things. Anyhow, the wait is over now, just in time for the Windows Mobile 6 device rollout. Yes, there are a couple out now, but many more to come!

Sling Media, a digital lifestyle products company, today announced that its award-winning SlingPlayerT Mobile software client is now compatible with Microsoft’s new Windows Mobile 6 operating system. SlingPlayer Mobile gives Slingbox owners the ability to watch and control their home TV from a network-enabled Windows Mobile powered device. With today’s announcement SlingPlayer Mobile is now compatible with devices that run Windows Mobile 6 Standard and Professional editions, Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. SlingPlayer Mobile is available for download from Sling Media’s U.S., Canadian, and UK web sites, which can all be accessed from www.slingmedia.com <http://www.slingmedia.com> .

“Windows Mobile 6 is powering a whole slew of new, feature-rich multimedia smartphones, and Sling Media is happy to announce SlingPlayer Mobile support for this next generation mobile platform,” said Blake Krikorian, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Sling Media. “SlingPlayer Mobile is one of the only applications on the market today that, when combined with a Slingbox, gives customers their full living room television experience on a mobile phone, including the ability to control a DVR. We look forward to continuing our support for Windows Mobile-based products, providing customers with the best possible mobile TV experience available.”

SlingPlayer Mobile is available for U.S. customers from Sling Media’s web site at http://us.slingmedia.com/page/downloads.html <http://us.slingmedia.com/page/downloads.html> . The retail price of the application is $29.99. SlingPlayer Mobile is available for Canadian customers at http://ca.slingmedia.com/page/downloads.html. The retail price is $34.99 CAD.
