As history tells us time and time again, iPhone apps / updates submitted to Apple arent a sure deal for approval. Still, we cant help but like where SlingPlayer Mobile is going with the recently-submitted version 1.1. In addition to providing true 16:9 widescreen support that stretches across the whole screen, Slingbox owners with DISH Network can now navigate using a touch-supported native browser, instead of pushing through the TV-standard browsing screen being streamed in. That last bits great for US customers, but its what the rest of the world might get that has our interests very piqued. The companys submitted a version for use outside of AT&Ts homeland that would finally allow for streaming over a 3G connection -- again, not a certainty for approval, but well be most interested to see if that one makes its way through the system.
