Apparently the people at Sling Media doesn’t want to sell much of the highly anticipated SlingPlayer Mobile for the iPhone. Confidently and uniformly priced at $29.99, SlingPlayer Mobile is available for BlackBerry, Palm, Symbian and Windows Mobile in addition to the iPhone.
With such price point, Sling Media will have a tougher time to sell the app. SlingPlayer Mobile for the iPhone supports streaming only on Wi-Fi, while it supports streaming on 3G connections on other platforms.
