Sling uses an internet media bridge to stream TV or recorded video from a user’s home to any compatible device like mobile phone.

According to Wired.com:

Sling originally submitted its SlingPlayer app, the software had the ability to stream video over the iPhone’s 3G, EDGE and Wi-Fi connections. However, Apple required Sling to modify the app to work with Wi-Fi only, according to Sling.

It’s reported that a 3G-capable SlingPlayer for iPhone would violate AT&T’s terms of service and could potentially strain AT&T’s 3g network. But it’s a bit weird since other AT&T devices like the BlackBerry Bold supports a 3G-capable SlingPlayer app.

The SlingPlayer app will be available for $30 in the App Store between midnight and 6 a.m. ET Wednesday.

Sling uses an internet media bridge to stream TV or recorded video from a user’s home, through their broadband connection, and to any compatible device; the company has clients for cellphones as well as desktop versions.  Yet to be answered is how well the iPhone’s EDGE connection could deal with a Sling stream; usually the company advises a 3G connection when using a cellphone.

Sling CEO, Blake Krikorian, announced at NAB the company’s intentions to support the upcoming iPhone.

I think the question for them is going to be, how are they going to phase the (iPhone) out?” Krikorian said of Apple. “There’s been some talk about whether it’s going to be a closed device or…open, or whether they’ll phase it (out), so I think it’s going to be up to them to see when (streaming) might be available. But I cannot comment any more than that.
