Sling Media, Inc., today announced that for the first time the company will be showing their award-winning SlingPlayer Mobile software running on RIM BlackBerry® smartphones at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 7th – 10th. The technology demonstration will take place in Sling Media’s booth, #73106, Sands Convention Center, using a BlackBerry Pearl™ 8120, which incorporates both cellular and Wi-Fi® data connectivity. Sling Media will release SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry later this year.

"SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry has been a top customer request since we launched the original Slingbox Classic in 2005, and being a BlackBerry addict myself I am particularly excited about this announcement," said Blake Krikorian, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Sling Media. “Combining the best of breed email device with the ability to watch and control your living room TV is a killer combo.”
