We’ve been waiting for SlingPlayer Mobile on Android to hit for a while and it looks like we won’t have to wait much longer because the company is testing it out in private beta.

If you don’t know, the app gives you access to your SlingBox media content over WiFi and 3G – this can include live television as well as your recorded content. The iPhone app is pretty slick but I can’t wait to fiddle around with this on my Droid. Here’s an e-mail sent out to the select few who are testing this:

Hi ,
The wait is finally over! A new private beta is available for the SlingPlayer Mobile for Android. Since your beta profile is a good match for testing, you have the opportunity to join the new beta program.
Please note this is a special invitation so do not share this email or the below URL with anyone else. Also, do not mention you received an invitation, that the beta is starting, or anything that’s related. Due to the overwhelming demand for this program, we’d like to keep things as quiet as possible. Just think of it as a secret club! ;)

We’re working our magic to get in on the beta and we’ll give you our thoughts as soon as possible. In the meanwhile, check out the demo video above and let us know what you think in the comments.
