Product Announcement: Slingbox Now Works with Mac Client

Sling Media has finally officially announced that they will provide a Macintosh Player. Last week at CES 2006, Sling Media mentioned the Macintosh Player should be announced during MacWorld and it was. Unfortunately, a Linux Player does not seem likely currently as there is not enough interest from consumers.
So the tally… Sling Media works on Windows CE, Windows and now Macs while Locationfree works on Windows, PSPs and Locationfree TV tablets. I think Sling Media wins the supported clients competition.
Are there other options besides Sling Media and Sony? What are your thoughts on the current king of the “place-shifters”?

Hmm. Check out Orb (www.orb.com). Orb software needs to be installed at home on a Windows XP or Media Center box with a TV tuner and you can stream TV (or music, IPTV, Podcasts, etc) on any Web-connected device. You don’t need to install client software on the client. And did I say that Orb is free? (Yes, I work for Orb…) Check it out before you start doing running the tallies!
