Sling Media has launched its SlingPlayer Mobile software in the US for selected Nokia devices.
SlingPlayer gives Slingbox owners the ability to watch and control their home TV from a network-connected mobile phone. The first supported devices are Nseries and Eseries running S60 3rd edition. For a limited time Sling Media is offering Nokia N95 owners a discount on the Slingbox service.
Blake Krikorian, CEO of Sling Media, said: “Customers have been calling for this software from the time we first announced support for Symbian OS last fall and I am thrilled to be answering the call with today’s announcement.
People love their living room TV programming and simply want the ability to watch it on any device wherever they happen to be.”
SlingPlayer users can watch TV via a PC, Mac, Palm OS, Symbian OS and Windows Mobile-based device via internet connections worldwide (3G Cellular, WiFi). In addition, SlingPlayer Mobile users can also control their home digital video recorder (DVR) to watch recorded shows, pause, rewind and fast forward live TV, or programme new recordings while on the road.
