I still want SlingPlayer for Apple TV. I have a Slingbox in Japan and want to see on my TV in the US.

Thanks Dave, I’d heard of SlingCatcher but (for some reason) thought it was just PC -> TV, I hadn’t realized until today that it was also Slingbox -> remote TV.

I guess I hadn’t read closely enough when it was preannounced. Thanks! (Now, why did I buy the AppleTV? Oh yeah, because Steve Jobs owns my wallet.)

“…We are currently evaluating such opportunities for [J2ME] SlingPlayer Mobile..”

Oh yes! I know at least one other person besides me who will instantly buy the whole Sling hardware line-up, whatever it takes, IF and WHEN we can get a J2ME client for our RAZRs.

Todd, this may interest you...

We have also received much enthusiasm regarding support for other mobile platforms, such as RIM Blackberry, J2ME, and BREW. We are currently evaluating such opportunities for SlingPlayer Mobile, and will provide information on our website as soon as available.

In addition to a SlingPlayer client to watch my content on someone else’s AppleTV, a killer app for me would be SlingCatcher-like functionality. This would allow me to sit on my laptop and bring up videos from any site (youtube, google video etc.) and “clip” the movie straight to the TV for viewing with my friends. No worries about codec or flashplayer support because the laptop would stream the pixels straight out of the browser window. This is similar to the functionality I’ve heard the SlingCatcher will provide. Its also similar to Apple’s Web Clip Dashboard widget planned for Leopard (only you’d be clipping to the TV):
