THIS IS JUST DUMB, AT&T owns Slingmedia! Also i have many friends with many different brands of phones through AT&T they all have slingplayer mobile. Something else is going on here..maybe they will try to shove the crappy mediaflo tv down our throats for 20-30 bucks a month?

Advertised by Best Buy in next weeks ads that Slingbox will work with IPhone: http://s645.photobucket.com/albums/uu178/franchise1/BB042609/?action=view&current=BB-0426-07.jpg

Do they know something we don't?

I've been doing this with ORB for a while now! Using Windows Media Center of course...

Looks like the BGR was based on a prank tipster from a prison. Whew!

I agree with Dionte. The FCC has to step in... Maybe a class suite action against AT&T will send a clear message. They should also change their plan name from "unlimited" to "capped". After all, that's what it is. I believe calling it unlimited is misleading. True we,users, don't really have a choice. Anybody know what the penalty is of you go over the 5 Gb cap?

While I'm sure Sling Media would be thrilled, it's unlikely that 10 million people would be using the iPhone app.

The 5gb limit is rarely enforced.

To me, being able to use Sling over 3G is critical. Most of the times when the Slingplayer is useful are out of wifi range.

Are you seriously telling me there's a 5 gig limit to AT&T's "unlimited" data plan?????

The FCC needs to step in and put a stop to this, if we pay for 5 gigs of bandwidth from att, they should not be able to tell us how we can use it. If we go over charge us but don't try to block us from using what we already paid for. 30 bucks a month and I use around 500 megs, I know they are loving it.

At the risk of being called a nitpicker, it looks like you have an unclosed tag, creating a broken link, in the story. And, while I am nitpicking, it should be at AT&T's Request, not AT&T's Requested.
