The company that has built a mini-empire with products designed to let you watch your TV from anywhere in the world is set to embrace high-definition (HD) with the unveiling of the Slingbox Pro HD.
The Pro HD updates the Slingbox Pro by allowing you to stream HD content. The snag though is that you’ll not be streaming it around the globe [bandwidth issues, you know] but to other TVs around the home. The box promises 1080i streaming with 5.1 sound. Don’t hold your breath though since it’s not due until Q3. It will cost around £200.
In addition, the company is also promising SlingPlayer client software for the Blackberry and will be demonstrating it running on the Pearl 8120 at next week’s CES 2008 show.
This will finally let some Blackberry owners finally watch TV on their phones – something users of Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm-based devices have already been able to do with existing Sling products.
Again no breath holding please, since it’s only due out officially by “the end of the year”.-Martin Lynch
