Till Apple came on stage, carriers were the one with all the control. So it wasn’t surprising when we saw SlingPlayer for Symbian handsets released on X-Series from Hutchison 3, before the actual SlingMedia client was available to the other, non-3 users.
Now, SlingMedia started to test the generic version of its mobile client for Symbian devices in the U.S. If you’re interested to participate in a beta program, it’s required that you own either Nokia N75, E65 or N95, and that you have an unlimited data plan on AT&T or T-Mobile. Once selected, you’ll have to keep a zipped lip about confidential information, complete at least 2 short surveys, watch tons of TV on your device and of course report all the bugs and annoyances you may encounter.

About The Author
Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
