Really want SlingBox on the Droid

[souljerr]

One application that I'd love to see on my Droid is SlingBox and the SlingPlayer. I was able to find this on Gizmodo. Anyone else have additional info? SlingPlayer Coming To WebOS and Android Phones? - Slingplayer for Android - Gizmodo

I searched and didn't find SlingBox - I swear...

 

[Sam]

oh no.. i just mean there is a thread that talks about what you WANT on your droid.. no worries!

 

[souljerr]

Got it. The more I think about it, the more I keep adding to my app wish list. Man, this is gonna rock!

 

[Sam]

oh dude i hear ya.. i'm SO excited.. just gotta make sure i'm not working friday morning!

 

[souljerr]

This is definitely one of the times I am very happy about working from home.

Well if you get bored or anything please post the apps your looking at getting in my thread, would be appreciated.

 

[souljerr]

I have posted a couple that I'm looking at but will add another post after I've had a chance to dig through the android app store.

You can just edit your original no worries. Yeah i've been trying to search through forums and apps and everything to see what i'd want, most of what i'd like has been stated 2-3 times already lol. you are the first one to talk about weight apps, which is something i'm sure alot of people could use, either for themselves or a loved one. Thanks for bringing it up, i hadn't even thought about something like that until you said it.

I actually use a really cool one on the Treo called My Personal Diet. Solid little app.

No matter where I put it, thread wise...yes, can't wait for SlingPlayer on the Droid! I have it on my WM phone now, on a Treo 700wx with that small, square screen...

I am assuming the ad posted at the top means that Sling is at least headed in the direction of an Android app. With the success of the Droid seeming quite likely, they'll probably continue, and hopefully do some coding that takes advantage of the Droid's amazing screen.

Looking at all of the different apps there are a tons of other must haves. Friday can't come soon enough.

I just went to a verizon store here to buy a droid, and found that Flash isn't supported, so... no Hulu, no sling.com, no slingbox.

I asked if slingbox would be supported soon, they said, "No, not likely, because it would compete with our mobile TV app."

Disappointed.


Hope they're wrong about that. I'll buy one for me, one for my wife the minute I can watch my slingbox on it.
