SlingPlayer 1.1 is released into App Store

SlingPlayer Mobile 1.1 has appeared in the App Store. As we profiled last week, the update adds several new features, including support for 16×9 widescreen video and remote control integration with DISH Network.

What’s New in this Version
- Full 16×9 widescreen support (Slingbox SOLO, PRO, and PRO-HD only)
- DISH Remote Access integration (DISH Network users only)
- Faster start and channel change
- Improved remote control interface

Unfortunately, SlingPlayer Mobile still only allows streaming over Wi-Fi, maintaining a limitation imposed on the initial version at the request of AT&T, which feared that allowing such uses on its 3G network would lead to congestion and service disruptions (which would be less likely if they would speed up the upgrading of their network, but…we digress).
