Not that we haven’t heard it’s coming, it’s just it was three months ago and we’ve almost lost almost all hopes Sling will actually release the BlackBerry version of its client…
Following Symbian S60, Windows Mobile and Palm OS client, SlingMedia finally announced its application for RIM’s platform. Yap, the BlackBerry owners — especially ones owning the WiFi enabled device — will be able to seamlessly stream their TV back to their beloved device while additionally increasing their addiction along the way. Timing is still not exactly specified, but I’m sure “later this year” sounds more than enough for some people. The price will be just under 30 bucks, which is a mere bargain considering you’ll be able to entertain yourself while pretending to work.
I’ve almost forgot, if you happen to go at CES, make sure you visit Sling’s booth – they’ll be demoing the application on the Pearl 8120.

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.
