I also have been using it on my Vaio SZ-370 with the built in Edge card and it works well there too (much larger screen). True, it's not in Hi-Def, but we FINALLY got 3G in December in our area and I could really not tell a night and day difference in the quality of the picture. It is still fast enough to catch a news broadcast or, more importantly, schedule a recording on my DVR when I forget to do that before leaving the house. I have been guilty of watching TV when driving on a long trip and when traveling between 3g and Edge I have not noticed a problem at all with either one. (I also stream the Audio portion to my bluetooth receiver via the A2DP Profile, Hint Hint). Bottom line is, Edge will definitely SUPPORT the Slingplayer for Mobile, and it is completely unacceptable for the iPhone to not be allowed to have the software installed. Others have said that it is because of the format of the Slingplayer that the iPhone will not support... that too is false, because while the iPhone is designed to support H.264 for the YouTube video, Sling Media is a propriatery format and should have NO problem playing on the iPhone once it is installed. PLEASE STEVE, ALLOW US SLINGPLAYER FOR IPHONE !!! Burtx: I too have been using my mobile Slingplayer on my Cingular 8125 then 8525 for about a year and a half on Edge and it has worked well.

I run Slingmedia on my Palm Treo over edge and it works fine. Sure, wifi is better but the picture is so small that it doesn't need to stream at high speed. It will work over Edge.
