Sling Announces The Sling Player for Origami
Sling has announced that they will be making a version of the Sling Player for the upcoming Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) from Microsoft that has been code named Origami.
Of course at this point, who knows when any type of UMPC will be released. But when (if) it is released, users who have a SlingBox will be able to use their UMPC anywhere they can get a high speed Internet connection to view their home video sources that are connected to the SlingBox. This means being able to control and watch your DVR (TiVo, ReplayTV, Cable DVR, etc.) from anywhere.
I know this is possible now with a laptop, but sometimes it’s really a pain to lug around a laptop and get it out, turn it on, boot into windows, start your sling player, etc. when a UMPC with the Sling Player installed would be much quicker and easier to use — In Theory!
