SlingMedia to demo its SlingPlayer on the iPhone at WWDC!SlingMedia will be demonstrating live video streaming on the iPhone during the WWDC, which starts today. The good news is – they can do it. The bad news, however, it’s still in the “proof of concept” stage, meaning you can’t have it at the moment. But, that doesn’t mean they’re not working alongside Apple to bring SlingPlayer — or that’s iSling — to the market. Just imagine watching your TV on the iPhone’s gorgeous 3.5-inch screen. Sounds cool, don’t you think?

There is a problem, though. How they envision this happening? Only in the hotspot areas where there’s enough bandwidth for video streaming, or they’re shooting for the stars, to launch it on the 3G iPhone. Yeah, we want to see that happening. Please mr. Jobs introduce it today. And, if possible, make the screen wide-VGA. We’ll love ya’ for that! ;)

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.

    As for “But, that doesn’t mean they’re not working alongside Apple”… uh, doesn’t it?

    I thought Sling just pointed out that they still havent’ been accepted into the developer program. Just like thousands of other good developers.

    Yeah, but at the end I’m sure they’ll manage to get in. After all, they wouldn’t work on the iPhone software for nothing.
