The trial version of SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS is available today as a free download from Sling Media’s software download pages, http://us.slingmedia.com/page/downloads.html and http://ca.slingmedia.com/page/downloads.html , as part of the public beta program.

SlingPlayer Mobile is a software client that gives Slingbox customers the ability to watch and control their home TV from a variety of smartphones and handheld computers using either a 3G cellular or WiFi network connection. In addition, SlingPlayer Mobile customers can control a home digital video recorder (DVR), such as a TiVo, to record shows, watch shows that have been previously recorded, and even pause and rewind live TV.
