Sling Media aims to increase streaming video quality significantly with its new Slingbox SOLO.
Sling Media today announced the retail launch of the new Slingbox SOLO, a freshly designed new Slingbox that can connect to a standard definition or high definition set top box and features increased streaming performance for less than $200.
Slingbox SOLO transforms PCs, laptops, Macs and a variety of smartphones into personal, portable TVs and builds upon the goals of the original Slingbox - giving consumers the freedom to view their home cable, satellite or digital video recorder programming on a wide range of devices anywhere they can access the Internet.
Slingbox SOLO is designed to meet the varied requirements of today's multi-faceted TV-viewing households. The product includes standard and widescreen video support and increased streaming performance (full VGA resolution, up to 8 Mbps around the home), and connects to set top boxes via component video, S-video or composite video connectors and features integrated looping outputs for each input.
The Sling Media Slingbox SOLO is available now for $180.
Sling Media also announced a new version of its SlingPlayer Mobile software today, which is compatible with smartphones that run Symbian S60. Most notably, the new Nokia N95 for the U.S. market is among the smartphones that now supports Sling Media's services. Customers who purchase an N95 receive a free version of the SlingPlayer Mobile software, worth $30.
