Just Windows Mobile and Symbian currently. I've heard of people slinging on EDGE and supposedly it's not too bad, but I've never tried it.
I didn't think the Slingbox was too hard to set up at all, if you just set the ports to 443 then you're good to go anywhere and everywhere.

I'm not sure that's an accurate statement. With the software currently installed on the Pearl you can't watch streaming media. However, my guess is the only reason the 8800 will support streaming media is because it will incorporate a software update (in comparison to our Pearls.) I'm sure that update will eventually come out for the Pearl at some point too and we'll be able to watch streaming media as well. Our limiting factor is EDGE and we'll just have to see what happens down the road on that.
