When the app was released last May, there was great moaning<\/a> that the SlingPlayer Mobile<\/a> app only worked on a Wi-Fi connection. That was in contrast to other versions of the Sling app running on other phones like the BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and some Palm devices — all of which were allowed on the AT&T network. <\/p>\n AT&T now says they have worked with the Sling Media developers, and found ways to reduce the bandwidth footprint. Getting it all up and running will require a new version of the Sling App, which should appear shortly. The app will be a free upgrade for current owners. The posted version was released in August of last year. <\/p>\n A source at Sling Media told me this morning they were glad AT&T “finally saw the light.” We’ll keep you posted on developments, and we’ll test the new app when it’s online.<\/p>\n TUAW<\/a>Slingplayer Mobile will finally be working on the AT&T 3G network<\/a> originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)<\/a> on Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:00:00 EST.
