Pixel Doubled iPad SlingPlayer Is A Go

It may not be quite as nice as their upcoming higher resolution, universal app, but it appears the existing iPhone OS Slingbox client ($30, iTunes) is a go on the 9.7″ iPad. I’m currently tabletless, but posed the Sling question to my Twitteverse. And heard back from several reputable sources including ZDNet’s Jason Perlow, Macworld Editor Jason Snell, analyst/columnist Michael Gartenberg, and TiVoblog’s Alex Raiano. The consensus seems to be that the iPhone SlingPlayer app works, but a native client is preferred. However, you don’t have to take their word for it… As Jeff Finkelstein has kindly shared a video demo with us.

  1. The Slingplayer app on thee iPad is a go, but honestly it dosent look good at all.
    The reason I just bought the Slingplayer Pro Hd is because I took your word Mr Zatz that sling will be coming out with an iPad specific app.

    One can only hope

  2. Sam, you took their word, not mine. However, they are notoriously NOT timely with their mobile platform support. For example, there’s still no Android app… although it looks like one will launch this summer.
