SlingPlayer for BlackBerry goes public beta

So maybe after reading my review of the Slingbox Pro-HD you decided to pick one up. If you’ve got a BlackBerry, you’ll be able to download SlingPlayer Mobile (in beta form) today and watch television on your phone.

You can download the software directly from your BlackBerry. Sling is officially supporting several phones. The latest and greatest Bold 9000 is supported. Three models of the Curve are supported, the 8320, 8820 and the 8900. The Pearl 8120 and the Pearl Flip 8220 round out the “officially” supported phones.

Strangely, Sling is “unofficially” supporting EDGE versions of the BlackBerry.

Unofficially the EDGE-only 8100, 8110, 8300, 8310, 8800, and 8810 will also work. All models must have firmware revision 4.5 or later to install SlingPlayer Mobile.

Download the application from your BlackBerry here.
