Question: I’m sick of not having Slingbox mobile so I want to switch to get a device that is compatible. Right now, I have the blackberry 50something something, the one that came out before the curve and its great. Any suggestions on what I should get that is similar to my blackberry and slingbox mobile compatible? My service provider is AT& T
Thanks

Answer 1: Get the blackjack. I have it and it works well, as long as you are in a 3g area. I have ATT also.

Answer 2: They say Slingbox will be available on blackberry by end of the year but I wouldn’t count on it. Sling announced back in January that it would be available for Blackberry by the end of the year but there’s been no update whatsoever since then. Their silence says a lot.

Answer 3: Slingbox Mobile works on any windows media phone or palm. Blackberry has been “coming soon” for more than a year. The Treo 800 just came out and slingbox is adapting to that winmo 6.1 device.

Answer 4: It’s not blackberry – It’s Slingmedia. They are the ones that need to come out with the software that can run on blackberry. And no, it doesn’t work on the iphone either. Unlike with blackberry, Slingmedia hasn’t announced any plans to come out with an application for the iphone, which is unfortunate because it would be amazing to be able to watch on that phone.
