Sling Debuts SlingPlayer for Mac OS X

By the Betanews Staff | Published April 30, 2007, 10:54 AM

Sling Media said Monday that it had released the first version of its SlingPlayer application for the Mac OS platform. The release ends the company's year long trek from concept to release, as it first confirmed its existence in an interview with BetaNews in April of last year. In addition to the standard Sling features, the SlingPlayer for Mac also supports Apple entertainment products including Apple TV, Front Row, and iPods in either a iPod Hi-Fi or universal dock, the company said.

SlingPlayer takes advantage of the native user interface of the Mac OS platform and is available free of charge for all Slingbox owners. It supports Mac OS X 10.3.9 and higher, and runs on either PowerPC or Intel-based computers.

Didn't even realize it was still in beta!
