After three months as unsupported “Betaware”, SlingPlayer for Palm OS has gone official, making a wide variety of mobile phones and PDAs Slingbox friendly. This marks the seventh supported platform in their lineup behind Windows Smartphone, Windows Pocket PC, Mac OS X, Windows XP, 2000, and Windows Vista.

Officially, SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS only supports the 3G-capable Treo 755p and 700p, though numerous users are Slinging happy on older devices such as the TX, Treo 750, and Treo 650. If your Palm is listed as unsupported, you should download the 30-day trial and give it a spin to see if it works.
