SlingPlayer for Mac Public Beta Review

By Chief Gizmateer

NA9D posted a review on the Mac version of the SlingPlayer. The review is quite in depth covering everything from installation to operation and performance. In addition to being in depth, the review seem unbiased with an entire Wishes section covering the interface, OS support, inability to be scripted and lack of being Mac “services” compliant. Here’s part of the summary:

This first version of SlingPlayer for Mac is a very good first step in Sling Media’s venture into software on a platform other than Windows. As a relatively new Slingbox user (July 2006), I am unaware of the quality or polish of previous versions for Windows, but this Mac client offers everything the current Windows client offers. Yes it needs a little polish, but for now it should satisfy plenty of pent up demand from the Mac community, as well as open up a whole new market of users (and very loyal ones at that) to Sling Media. Hopefully, everyone will agree it was worth the wait.
