Apr 28 SlingPlayer Mobile released by Sling Media for Windows Mobile
Published by Vesselin Nerdeff in:Software, Pocket PC, Smartphone,

SlingPlayer Mobile is finalized and has been released as promised! If you own Sling Box device and a Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Smartphone now you can enjoy your favorite shows from wherever you are.

SlingPlayer Mobile is the latest product from Sling Media that gives you (if you are Slingbox owner) the most powerful option available in mobile television, combining your unique personal home TV experience with the portability of your mobile phone or PDA. SlingPlayer Mobile extends Slingbox functionality to Pocket PC PDAs, cell phones, or smartphones powered by the Windows Mobile operating system. SlingPlayer Mobile supports any type of Internet connection on your mobile device, including high-speed cellular services like EV-DO or UMTS, WiFi, USB, or Bluetooth-based connections.

SlingPlayer Mobile gives consumers their entire home TV experience, including local channels, local sports teams, video on demand, pay per view, etc. Any program that you can watch on your sofa back home, you can now watch via your Windows Mobile-based device anywhere you can get a standard network connection (3G Cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth or even USB). In addition, SlingPlayer Mobile users can also control their home digital video recorder (DVR) to watch recorded shows, pause, rewind, and fast forward live TV, or even queue new recordings while on the road.



SlingPlayer Mobile Features:

* Intuitive SlingPlayer interface Just like the PC version, SlingPlayer Mobile is easy to use, with most features accessible through familiar icons and a touch-screen interface.

* Automatic Slingbox Directory synchronization SlingPlayer Mobile can automatically copy your PC Slingbox Directory onto your your Windows Mobile device.

* SlingStream video optimization In a mobile environment, your network connections may fluctuate rapidly, so SlingStream technology determines the best video quality to stream your Slingbox, and is constantly monitoring and optimizing the network for you.

* "Favorites" shortcuts One of the most popular features of the SlingPlayer is the ability to set your own Favorites shortcuts. Well, it's in the SlingPlayer Mobile as well, with even more features (yes, we've packed MORE features into the smaller product). Not only can you set shortcuts to your favorite channels, you can also set favorite remote control buttons. Additionally, you can customize different shortcuts for each different device you hook up to your Slingbox!

* Slingbox Finder support Your Mobile device automatically communicates with your Slingbox via the Slingbox Finder, a free service.

* Full-screen video For all Pocket PC's with rectangular displays (320x240 or 640x480 resolution), the SlingPlayer Mobile includes a full-screen "landscape" mode, with rotation

* Graphical SlingRemote SlingPlayer Mobile includes all the remote control capabilities as used in SlingPlayer PC, giving you full control over your Slingbox and whatever device you connected to it, including your cable box, satellite receiver, DVR, or DVD player!

* Audio-only and Slideshow modes Two new ways to watch (or should we say "listen to") your Slingbox, where you can optimize for higher audio quality instead of video quality. These features come in handy if you want to listen to the news or a sports game in a very low-bandwidth environment.

* Keyboard shortcuts Virtually every remote control function is mapped to a corresponding key on your keyboard, which can come in quite handy for devices such as the Treo700w.

* Hardware button remapping If you have a cable box (or TiVo or satellite receiver or DVD player or anything else with on-screen guides or navigation), you can use hardware buttons (such as up, down, left, right, etc) to control your device!

SlingPlayer Mobile is available today from Sling Media's website at www.slingmedia.com and includes a free 30-day trial. The retail price of the application is $29.99. Slingbox owners who purchased and registered their Slingbox on or before April 26th, 2006 will receive a free license for SlingPlayer Mobile. There are no monthly or recurring charges for the use of the software.

Keep in mind that this version of the software supports Windows Mobile Pocket PC devices; a separate version for Windows Mobile for Smartphones will be available in Q2, 2006.

Apr 28 Mobile Video Producer 3.0 Launched by StreamerNet
Published by Vesselin Nerdeff in:Software, Pocket PC, Treo,

StreamerNet Corporation today announced it has begun shipping Version 3.0 of its Mobile Video Producer audio/video streaming application. The newest version of the company's flagship software solution takes ease-of-use to unmatched levels for seven key streaming functions.

The StreamerNet Mobile Video Producer Version 3.0 has been significantly enhanced with a new graphical user interface (GUI) that helps users "launch" their chosen streaming function by simply dragging their cursor over the function icons and clicking options to activate each function. Once the function has been activated, lists of easy-to-follow steps are presented that take all the guess-work out of the process for each streaming function. From set-up to live streaming, the processes for all seven functions take no more than a few key-strokes and mouse clicks.

Mobile Video Producer 3.0 Features:

* LIVE STREAMING — Webcast "live" action events or capture video segments that can be edited and delivered at a later time
* VIDEO EMAIL — Send Video email without large attachment files (video/audio messages are retrieved via Web URL so recipient inbox is not overloaded)
* WATCH MY CAMERA — Real-time camera view of remote point-of-action environments can be seen on a remote computer, Smartphone or other handheld devices (surveillance, nanny-cam, remote eyes)
* ON-DEMAND MEDIA ROOM — Host your own library of videos in a private media library (storage and distribution is made easy and secure with password access options)
* MY TV/RADIO SHOW — Broadcast live or recorded Internet IPTV or Radio Shows (become your own radio/TV station)
* SLING MY TV — Transmit home TV to personal desktop/mobile computer
* MEDIA CONVERSION — Convert old CD/VHS/Beta SP libraries to web-viewable video archives streaming or on-demand distribution.

While the StreamerNet Mobile Video Producer is uniquely tailored for use with wireless network connections and in situations where mobility is crucial, the solutions are just as powerful in fixed network applications. Whether the application is in the enterprise/corporate environment, academic institutions or for personal/consumer use, StreamerNet has concentrated on making the solution simple, yet comprehensive, for a wide range of professional or casual implementations.

StreamerNet solutions are unique in the marketplace because they concentrate on direct point-to-point streaming at a moment's notice — a concept called "plug-and-play, click-and-stream." This type of offering is dramatically different from most currently available streaming offerings which require significant set-up time and also require considerable resources and expense to facilitate.
