I am interested as well, but think this is only going to work over WiFi and not EDGE. When I try to use my slingbox over a 1XRTT connection on my laptop, it barely works. When I am in EVDO range, it works great. (BTW, I am using a Sprint EVDO card). There is rumor that Sling will develop a J2ME app and a Palm app soon, but, it is only rumor.

BTW, a sling box allows you to rebroadcast your cable or satellite service over the internet. It also allows you to control the cable/satellite box. I dont care much for most things on TV, but do use it to catch sports (especially local teams) when I am out of town.
