Finally, the much anticipated Slingplayer application is coming to the Android platform this summer.  For those of you who have not heard of the Slingplayer, it is a device that connects to your cable/satellite receiver and redirects the signal over the internet and delivers it directly to your mobile phone or desktop computer. This technology has been around for a couple of years and was released about 9 months ago on the iPhone.  It works well and you can even watch your on-demand channels.  It’s as if you were sitting in front of your TV.

Slingplayer works on both wifi and 3G.  The slingbox will run you around $200-250 depending on whether or not you want it in HD. There are no costs associated with redirecting the signal.  Just the cost of the slingbox, your cable/satellite provider charges, and the cost to purchase the Android application.

    Man, I’d love to have one of those AndrIOds! I guess it’s like Android, but with advanced I/O capabilities? :) (If you’re still lost, Joseph, re-read your post title.)
