FUCK, I gotta see someone about this addiction lol.

keeping with my need for pointless gadgets
I'm feeling the urge for a SlingBox of some sort.
So long as it works with my iPhone its all gravy

but what one to get? theres a few out there.


i think this urge is genetic, i remember my mom getting shit over the years like
a sandwich toaster, Soda-Stream, Juicer, Blender, and some sort of QVC super slicer that sliced diced and took the tips of ya fingers off.

All gone to the kitchen gadget graveyard under the sink.
used for a week or so, then discovered the supposed time saved by using the dam tool
took longer setting the shit up than just doing it without.

Well after a little research i learnt that SlinBox isn't available right now for iphone.

on account of the client needing software.
but slingbox themselves have a proof of concept on a open 1st iphone.

apparently they where waiting for apple to open some sort off SDK and 3rd party app program,
and also a faster iphone was in the works.


Well now as you know all that has come, and apparently its OFFICAL that the SlingBox people are near completion of a dedicated app for the iphone.


For me, this means over 1000 channels LIVE anywhere in the world.
DingDong Bring it on mukka
