SlingPlayer Mobile Impresses

I'm a SlingBox addict.  Because I'm a Red Sox fanatic.  And I travel about half the week to places where you can't just put the TV on and watch the game. 

But I've always been forced to choose between sitting in the hotel room watching the game on my laptop or going out to enjoy a nice meal in one of the fine restaurants in whichever city I happen to be in that night. 

Until about a month ago when SlingMedia came out with the SlingPlayer Mobile.  This nifty little app pairs nicely with my Treo 700w using Verizon's speedy EVDO service.  Granted, the screen is small, but I can still read the score (mostly) on that thin bar that runs across the top of most sporting events now.  Qaulity is very good.  Very few dropped frames and the audio is quite clear.

It has certainly become a wow factor for whomever I'm dining with (and often just someone I'm sitting near at another table or an adjacent barstool). 

I highly recommend the SlingBox and the SlingPlayer Mobile for any entrepreneur who spends too much time on the road and not enough time keeping up with the local teams.
