SlingPlayer for iPhone Restricted to Wi-Fi Only
John Gruber:
A version that played lower bit-rate video over 3G was rejected, apparently at AT&T’s behest, despite the fact that other iPhone apps stream video over 3G. And what’s really odd is that AT&T allows the SlingPlayer app to stream over 3G on BlackBerrys.
AT&T probably doesn’t care that BlackBerry users use the SlingPlayer over 3G. The number of people using their BlackBerries for video like this is probably minimal.
It would be interesting to see a comparison of the number of people using SlingPlayer on the BlackBerry and the number of people using it on the iPhone.
