SlingMedia has finally released a beta version of their SlingPlayer Mobile for PocketPC Devices. This beta version will expire on April 26 when they expect to release version 1.0. PocketPC Devices are the only portable devices supported in this version — they are projecting a release of the software that will include support for Smart Phones running Windows Mobile to be out sometime in the second quarter of 2006.

If anyone has a slingbox and a PocketPC mobile device that they can test this on, I would be curious to hear about their experiences. I’m not sure how good the experience will be on the small screen. Great idea in theory, but (kind of like the video iPod) in practice I’m not so sure I would really want to watch TV for an extended period of time on such a small screen. But then again, if it meant I could watch The Sopranos while I’m on the road, the small screen might not matter so much.
