SlingMedia has been busy working on an Android version of SlingPlayer, and now it looks like we’ll be seeing a version of SlingPlayer for the iPad too, which makes perfect sense. It can take advantage of the iPad’s larger screen for more viewing area and of course everyone will have one. So why wouldn’t they?

What do you think? Are you looking forward to this? We aren’t sure when this will happen, but they are working on it. And hopefully it won’t be just a pixel-doubled iPhone SlingPlayer app on that large screen.

The SlingPlayer app for iPhone will finally be available tomorrow. There has been a lot of discussion as whether or not AT&T (or other carriers) would let this bandwidth sucking app use their networks. Well, looks like the carriers had it their way and the Slingplayer app will work only with WIFI on iPhone.

If you want to use SlingPlayer on 3G, you’ll need a Blackberry or any other smartphone. AT&T complains that SlingPlayer would bring its wireless network down, while they’ve been trying to push their bandwidth-hog services like AT&T mobile TV. Which costs $30 per month. Thanks but no thanks.
