SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm public beta available

We've known Sling Media was working on a (long overdue) version of SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm for a while. And now Sling Media has broken out a public beta of the product.

In case you haven't been keeping track, a slingbox is a device that you plug into your TV, PVR, or any other A/V device in order to stream content from your home to an internet-connected computer, PDA, or mobile phone.

This version of the beta requires a Palm Treo 700p and an NTSC version of the Slingbox. Treo 650 and PAL users are out of luck at the moment. You'll also want a high speed (EV-DO) connection for your Treo, and a a broadband connection at home capable of at sending least 256kbps upstream.

Sling Media's Dave Zatz has a roundup of reviews on his blog.
