Coming Soon From Sling: Watch Cable TV on Your iPhone

Sling Media, the company behind the popular (and very cool) settop boxes that allow you to stream cable from your house to your computer, looks like it has outdone itself. At this week’s Macworld the company will be showing off its upcoming iPhone application, which effectively gives iPhone owners instant access to their Cable TVs and Tivos from anywhere they have a network connection. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a little longer (the company says that the app will be submitted to Apple (AAPL) some time in Q1), but it looks like it will be well worth the wait.

From the announcement:

SlingPlayer Mobile gives consumers their entire home TV experience, including local channels, local sports teams, video on demand, pay per view, etc. Any program that you can watch on your sofa back home, you can now watch via your iPhone using a standard network connection. In addition, SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone users can also control their home digital video recorder (DVR) to watch recorded shows, pause, rewind, and fast forward live TV, or even queue new recordings while away from home.

The company will also be announcing SlingPlayer for Mac HD, which gives Mac users the ability to watch high definition content streaming from their HD SlingBoxes using a web-based player on the company’s recently launched video hub Sling.com.

What's all the smarmy know-it-alls got to say about today's cut in half haircut?

Let me guess.... it doesn't fit your self-educated calculations. Hard to explain how this love-stock could treat you so bad, isn't it? Just can't imagine Mel & Co. make you look like complete hot-air buffoons. Shocking. And all the cheerleaders who rooted you on..... how could your limited wisdom let them down like that? Kind of hard to imagine which is the bigger fool now. Is it the leader..... or the follower?

Perhaps you all need a group hug..... to tell each other every thing is going to be all right and Mel is going to coming riding in and save you all from humiliation. Try to razzle dazzle each other by throwing a bunch of fancy Wall Street words and acronyms around.... and then make claims how SIRI is testing a new low, so other new readers think you really know what you are talking about, when really you & I know better, and know you don't have a clue. Good luck with running your mouth much more than your ears.

Maybe next time those fakes won't be so eager to criticize others. Maybe now they will understand that Mel doesn't give the first flying flip about them and all their flag waving.

Please, and you know which ones I am talking to, please explain how this happened to such market scholars as yourself?
