You guys make good points, and I do feel like Sling will likely come out with a client for the Blackberry...

The Sony unit does come with a proprietary client, but it is not necessary to use it; the unit streams standard MPEG, so you could use just about any client you wanted for it on any platform, including some I see that should work to stream video to a Blackberry right now. It's true that a few of the solutions I mentioned previously(PC, Network DVR) aren't completely plug and play, but they are fairly close. It would be interesting to see some sort of comparison of the various methods by which one could stream video to different non-standard devices...

Also, ARHYTHMATIK, I am curious what you mean by the TV outlet not being by your computer room and a network jack not being by the TV outlet. Do you mean that you use the Slingbox so that you are able to watch TV in your computer room? This is a very good use for such a device, but both the Dreambox and the LocationFree I mentioned before will do this. Also, if an individual only wanted to do this type of thing with their device, and never planned to use it for any other purpose, the Slingbox would be the perfect solution. The problem arises when one might decide he or she wanted to stream video to something that is not necessarily mainstream...

Anyhow, good dialog. It's always beneficial to discuss options...
