Topic: SlingPlayer is coming to DSiWare, apparrently.

I was checking the list of DSiWare games and applications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DSiWare_games_and_applications) and right at the bottom of the Apps section it says that the SlingPlayer is coming to DSiWare (no date). Seeing as Wikipedia has been "reliable" in the past, i'm quite skeptical about this. Do you think it's true? Or even Possible?

what is slingplayer?

Thought you said Single Player for a moment there, I was like "WTF". XD

like sling box? If that is true I will buy myself a slingbox asap

SlingPlayer let's you watch streaming video, for more info, http://www.slingmedia.com/

it looks like some kind of audio video player i did a little research on what wiki says and they saying that it uses high speed internet to send audio files and video files over the air to the current system. sounds extremely intresting.

But the question is, can the DSi pull it off? It is on popular smartphones like Blackberry and iPhone, so it MAY happen, but i'm not getting my hopes up.

the dsi COULD pull it off if the software was optimised for the system. Im not getting my hopes up either since the only source I can find is wikipedia.

I hope we can watch Youtube

I said this in another post, but PLEASE, PLEASE, bring Wii no Ma stateside.

I didn't see any news article about it so I wouldn't get my hopes up so high.

Edit: also the thing is $30 for phones to have...

Yeah, I searched it on Google and nothing related came up.

Wow... Yeah if it is $29.99 for Phones They would have to make it cheaper on the DSi Shop...

I checked out the site. From what i could tell, its similar to the location free player on the psp. Also, it requires that you buy a system that i assume hooks up to your tv, and broadcasts the signal over the internet, allowing you to watch tv anywhere you have internet. Overall, it seems pretty cool

there is another site that confirms this it is http://sites.google.com/site/wikigamers/dsishop

sorry...
that was a weird glitch

Hmm...Could these guys beat Ninty to video-streaming software?

i don't want video, i just want to have an email/writing app for the dsi...

B

I don't understand. With every other sling device, even on mobile devices, you need slings main box to work, the cheapest one is over 200 dollars....

I just want a normal video player dammit! One that plays AVI or M4P.
