Sling now available for Windows Phone 7

Sling Media Announces Availability of SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Phone 7 - Business - Press Releases - msnbc.com

I'd like to see how well this works. I have the 922 and plan on getting a Windows phone 7 in the near future.

Story on Engadget also mentions that there's a signup page for the iPad version of the SlingPlayer. Which is disappointing as the fine print on that page mentions that the current SlingPlayer app will continue to work on the iPad in compatibility mode meaning that it will NOT be a universal app that works on both platforms. (So iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch combo users have to pay twice.) Also note that the 922 isn't mentioned as a supported device on the iPad app. Probably because the iPad version of the Remote Access app will be the official DISH supported way to stream from that receiver.

Given the dearth of applications available for WinMo 7, this is huge news.

Well given that people could only start buying the phone on Monday, I think this is a pretty quick turn around for Sling.
