SlingPlayer Mobile Beta available for Dash |
|
In her SlingCommunity Blog early this morning, Sharon Rylander, Beta Program Manager at Sling Media, announced that the beta software update for Dash/Excaliber Smartphones running SlingPlayer Mobile is now available to all users. The update improves compatibility with these particular phones, including optimizations for the screen's resolution. The update is available through open enrollment in the private beta program. Instructions to apply for the beta are located here. The Samsung Blackjack is also an oddball in the Smartphone area, and according to Sharon, an update will be going into private beta soon.
What I find curious is why Sling has to create "device specific" applications for its mobile media player? The Dash, Q, and Blackjack are landscape smartphones running on the Smartphone OS. Why would each of these devices need a customized app? I am reminded of the days way back when there were specific versions of the same application for the MIPS, ARM, SH3 Pocket PC's. What do you think?
