Sling Medias SlingPlayer Mobile software is now available for Smartphones running the UIQ user interface on Symbian OS, including popular Smartphones from Motorola and Sony Ericsson. SlingPlayer Mobile gives Slingbox owners the ability to watch and control their home TV from a network-connected mobile phone. SlingPlayer Mobile gives consumers their entire home TV experience, including local channels, local sports teams, video on demand and pay-per-view. Any programme that you can watch on your sofa back home, you can watch via a PC, Mac, Palm OS, Symbian or Windows Mobile-based device via 3G, wi-fi or fixed-line Internet connections worldwide. In addition, SlingPlayer Mobile users can also control their home digital video recorder to watch recorded shows, pause, rewind and fast forward live TV, or even program new recordings while on the road.
SlingPlayer Mobile is an innovative and compelling application that complements the UIQ platform which itself has been designed to get the very best out of the Symbian OS, says Elisabet Melin, VP Ecosystem at UIQ Technology. This new release of SlingPlayer Mobile for UIQ on the Symbian OS offers compelling new data revenue opportunities to operators and a feature-rich service to consumers looking for convenient access to their home TV channel surfing, programming and viewing experience.
The enhanced, personalised mobile TV experience for Smartphones is enabled by Sling Medias award-winning Slingbox which allows customers to watch and control their home TV on an Internet-connected Mac or PC, as well as a range of mobile phone platforms.
