Sling let us know that they’ve gone and submitted version 1.1 of their popular SlingPlayer for iPhone application to Apple. New in this version include true 16×9 wide-screen support, improved remote control interface, faster speeds all around including channel changing, initial connection, remote control response.

While unfortunately there’s no 3G support in here, SlingMedia did let us know that they’ve submitted a version specifically for outside the United States that does have 3G support built in. There’s no telling whether Apple will approve it, but still a nice bit of information for our brothers and sisters that don’t live in the States.

    Maybe if they called it SlingMedia fart player it would fly right through – heh, pun intended. I upgraded my slingbox when they said GET IT TO PLAY SLING on your 3g. While my old one worked perfectly after 3g was canned. So I tried ORB, and it works perfectly on iPhone 3g in 3g – AND EDGE but not as well. A lady with the ATT Office of the Prez called me to say they can’t control what goes on other phones – meaning, my Blackberry Bold slaps down Sling on 3g perfectly, as do the other phones Sling has a program for on ATT. Dead horse, we’ve beaten it good, looking forward to faster and better from Sling. Shame we can’t say the same for att.

    How do you know it’s AT&T stopping the App.

    The app store approval process makes Rush Fat Ass Limbaugh look good.

    Apple has become the Sarah Palin of App Stores.

    Do as I say (yet I can’t say anything coherently) so just do as I say after I reject your app.

    Give me Google Android for the Win.

    Frank, whoa there angry liberal

    You bet I’m angry. I purcased a dumb ass iPlug and they have been scewing me without lube ever since.

    It’s a wonder most people JailBreak their phones. It sucks without the Jail Broke apps.

    Apple has become the moral majority for the World.

    Long live the Fruit.

    I don’t need Steve Jobs (I bought a liver but never give anything to charity) to tell me what I can have on my phone.

    These apps are approved for Blackberry phones.

    It’s Steve Jobs arrogant Skinny Ass that is stopping these because he knows that Android is suppier.

    By the way Jobs. Lose the Black turtle neck and jeans, these days you just look like Hugh Hephner. Give up your role on the board and let Apple be competitive again.

    Apple has done alot to hamper the growth of Hava and Slingplayer. Just shut up and transmit the data already, at&t! If my N95 can play it, why can’t an iPhone? It makes it look worse than it already is…

    I don’t understand how you apple guys think it’s ATT blocking apps like MMS, Skype, and SlingPlayer when all these apps work perfectly fine on BB and Windows.

  • http://www.symbian-freak.com christexaport

    @ ninjap, Apple is heavily influenced by at&t. It should be noted that at&t asked Nokia to block certain apps, and even had a memo warning users to not use Slingplayer, P2P apps, and VOIP apps. at&t knows users using apps like these in high numbers in highly dense populations centers could cripple the networks nearly nonexistent capacity. Why else can’t you use them? And why does at&t ask Nokia to disallow them?

    ‘Angry Liberal’ is redundant. Liberals are always angry about something, usually when others don’t recognize their brilliance and refuse to let them run their lives.

    @christexaport

    Apple? Heavily influenced? Please!!! These are the guys that said: “no ATT, we will sell and activate our own phones.” Do you see a ton of ATT bloatware on an iPhone like all other ATT phones? NO! Because Apple says: “no ATT, you will not touch our OS.” Nokia??? Please visit the ATT online store and tell me how many Nokia smartphones are on their line up? What about the iPhones sold in Europe and Japan and wherever else in the world? Do they have MMS? Can they use Skype via 3G? No! Please tell me you are not going to stand behind the idea that ATT told Apple to restricts those apps on other networks as well???

    Why is it Apple Vs At&t? Is it so hard to believe that the two partners actually come up with this crap on their own, TOGETHER?

    “Our bandwidth! Crap!”
    “Your bandwidth? What about this app that does something we haven’t done yet but don’t want someone else to do?!”
    “This trangression cannot stand, man!”
    “Let’s ban it!”
    “Yeah! Now give me a reach around while I **** you in the ***”
    “Oh boy howdy! Wait for me to come and we can come together all over our customers! The fanboys will lick it up!”
