The SlingPlayer app for the iPhone launched way back in May of last year and since then many have complained about the fact that it was not able to stream over an AT&T 3G connection. Well complain no more, well maybe for a little while. But the good news is that AT&T has finally given [...]

Jailbroken app: 3G Unrestrictor now available, allows you to use Skype, SlingPlayer and more over a 3G connection

Some have been arguing lately that jailbreaking is slowly becoming less and less important now that the iPhone OS has matured, and to some degree I will agree with that. Of course, I still jailbreak and likely will do so for quite a bit longer. One of the reasons why I jailbreak is to bypass [...]

A newly released app will allow you to use your SlingPlayer Mobile app on a 3G connection. Of course, I think this goes without saying but this one is limited to those who are willing to jailbreak. The app is already available for download from Cydia and is called Tricker ThreeG. As you would imagine, it [...]

And the wait is over, SlingPlayer Mobile has recently been added to the App Store and is currently available for download. Of course, as we expected, it is not the release we were hoping for. To begin with, AT&T has stepped in and required the app to stream using only a Wi-Fi connection, which means no [...]
