Here's my take on this issue. I recently purchased a Slingbox Pro and it works as advertised. Sling Media is one of those companies that saw a need and developed a well designed product to meet the need. While not the only product that will do this, it is clearly the leader. Most people are not capable of, nor do they want to "piece meal" something to together to have this capability, thus for most people, the Slingbox is the product of choice to do this.

I believe Sling Media will develop a BlackBerry version if they feel the market is sufficiently large for them to make money doing so, or if they feel that this is necessary to preserve their market dominance.

Based on their product, the ease of installation, and so forth, I have the feeling that they are a progressive business that is responsive to customer needs and interest. With the introduction of the 8800, in addition to the Pearl, I hope we are getting closer to seeing a Slingbox for BB.

It's hard to be patient - I have my fingers crossed for Slingbox for BB.
