Sling launched the beta app SlingPlayer Mobile. The app lets BlackBerries with 3G or Wi-Fi stream the video from a Slingbox at home and lets the user remote control any source that supports input from the streaming hub. The feature is meant to help commuters catch TV shows they might miss but also lets users access on-demand content from devices like the Apple TV or TiVos. The SlingPlayer app officially requires phones as simple as the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 and Pearl Flip 8220 and scales up to very modern BlackBerries like the Bold and the Curve 8900; all of them need at least BlackBerry OS 4.5.
