The Slingbox SOLO and the Apple iPhone
from: ConsumerEvidence.comBecause the Apple iPhone seems to be one of the most in-demand phones in the market today, SlingPlayer demonstrated how their products work with the Apple products at Macworld Expo last January 2009. The App Store included the demonstration last March 2009 for those interested.
The announcement of the iPhone application garnered a lot of reactions, especially among owners of older Slingboxes. Sling Media announced that only the Slingbox Solo, Pro and ProHD models will be supported by the iPhone client. The older models such as Classic, Tuner and AV are unofficially supported. They do appear to work with the application nonetheless. Owners of these older models were offered a $50 discount although Sling Media has not offered any public explanation for the cutoff. One theory could be related to the DSP in newer models being programmable at runtime to deliver an H.264 stream. This is the iPhone's preferred format. Older boxes deliver only a WMV-encoded stream. The details of the upgrade have not yet been disclosed, and customers are still waiting for the latest news.
On May 12, 2009, the SlingPlayer App became available at the Apple App Store. It was only made available for clients who have Apple accounts in the US, the UK, and Canada. It was priced at $29.99. The download will only use wi-fi to stream content. Sling's promotional email confirmed that the SlingPlayer works only "At Apple's request." This was a decision believed to have been made at the request of current iPhone network operators such as AT&T and O2.
