SlingPlayer coming to BlackBerry

Against all odds, it seems that Sling Media and RIM have listened to the cries of disenfranchised Slingbox users everywhere. Word on the street is that RIM and Sling are currently working together to bring a version of Sling Media’s SlingPlayer Mobile client to the BlackBerry operating system. Yes! There are very few specifics available as of yet, but we’d be hard pressed to imagine this coming to anything but EV-DO and Wi-Fi equipped ‘Berrys. Given the increasing prevalence of Wi-Fi in RIM’s recent handset offerings, this should prove to be a huge hurdle, but anyone with a lowly EDGE-equipped BlackBerry shouldn’t hold their breath. That said, we’re still overjoyed at this announcement. BG had told me Sling was always working on a client, and now it looks like it might be come a reality pretty soon. Bring it on, Sling. We’re waiting.
If slinged tv shows were captioned, then we’d be talkin’!
You gotta give me sometime
Yay! Hopefully it will work with my new BB8320!
This is amazing
its funny because today I left a comment on sling player coming to sybian and I said that they should make sling player for blackberry. And now its coming 
. Can’t wait now
HALLELUJAH! My prayers have been answered! Seriously- this is the reason I check BGR every freeking two hours every day of my life- waiting for this one piece of news to show up! And alas it has arrived! Of course there have always been rumors that SlingPlayer mobile would come to Blackberries, but now finally we have something substantial! This is unbelievable! Mad props to the whole BGR crew.
That will be sweet…is sweet.
This is awesome… but slingplayer works fine on EDGE.. i currently have the BlackJack, and my work doesn’t have 3G yet. But my edge speeds are 180kb/p … they are pretty fast, and i wasnt my slingplayer a lot when i’m at work… (i work nights, lol)…
This is great and all because I been puttting off on getting one waiting til it will work for my blackberry but when does it come out this year next year the year after that’s the real question??????
