So you’re still holding out for that Sling Player for the iPhone, huh? Well, good luck on that because I’m watching television broadcasts today, for free. Apple has finally authorized the release of Live TV, submitted to the Cupertino-based company before Macworld, and now I’m doing what Equinux was showing me back in the beginning of the year. I’m changing channels, viewing programs, and even recording them for later pleasure. All from my iPhone and all free of charge from the App Store. The missing Sling Player app will cost you, which Sling wouldn’t even confirm a price but told SvenOnTech, “about $30″ when it does finally see light. That’s worth the wait, right?

Live TV requires you pay only for the other end of things, the hardware, just like you do for the Sling box. But, Equinux’s offering is cheaper and fits into any Mac. The TubeStick turns your Mac into a true DVR and allows you to export to your iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, or to iMovie for edit and burning. Last I heard, Sling don’t do that.

Oh, if you wish to watch your recorded content, then you’ll want TubeToGo for your iPhone. Another free offering from Equinux.

So, you can wait for “that” player or fling (get the pun? on over to Equinux and get moving today. Now for the rest of Namaste America.
