And Sling Media, the makers of the SlingBox, told [url=http://news.com.com/2061-10801_3-6174606.html?part=rss&tag=2547-1_3-0-5&subj=news]CNET[/url] that the company is working on making the Slingbox compatible with Apple TV. The most likely -- and compelling -- scenario would be to allow the streaming of Apple TV content (which is synched with a computer) to a mobile device, the article adds.
"It is definitely something we will support," said Brian Jaquet, a Sling Media spokesman, told CNET. While he didn't offer a time frame for availability, he confirmed that the company is currently testing the interface and ensuring that the infrared codes and software can correctly control the Apple TV box. If it works as planned, content could be streamed from a computer to the Apple TV to the SlingBox and finally to a phone running any of the three mobile platforms supported by the SlingPlayer software: Windows Mobile, Palm or Symbian.
"This set-up might be a bit complex and pricey ($300 for the Apple TV and at least $150 for the SlingBox) but it would make a person's entire music collection available practically anywhere without a fistful of pricey memory cards," notes CNET.
