BlackBerry® Storm™

Any SlingBox owners' out there? http://www.slingmedia.com/ 

Right now I am still Bluetooth tethering my old HP Ipaq Windows Mobile PDA to my Storm to use SlingBox Mobile ( http://downloads.slingmedia.com/go/slingbox-mobile-us ). When I get SlingBox mobile for my BB Storm I can put my PDA away in a drawer.

Sling announced at the 2008 CES show that they are developing SlingBox mobile for Blackberry. See these videos:

I e-mailed Sling tech support to ask when the BB SlingBox mobile would be available and if it would be compatible with the Storm when it was. They e-mailed me back today 12/16 and said they have no info to give out.

One of the questions in this thread asked about apps for the UK:

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=9500&thread.id=6996

Answer

I noticed this site I previously posted a link to has apps earmarked for the Storm 9500 also:

http://www.getjar.com/software/BlackBerry/Storm_9500

I do not know if they are all the same as listed for the 9530 but you can take a look.
