Disapproval brings us nothing and certainly won’t inspire any competitors to waste their time and money developing similar apps.

John,

As you know, we submitted our SlingPlayer Mobile iPhone application to Apple for acceptance to distribute in their App Store at the end of March. We are very excited about releasing the app and are confident that it will be approved. We are in frequent contact with our partners at Apple as we go through the process but at this point in time I cannot give you an exact time frame as to when we will be live in the store. Thanks for your interest. We hope the wait won’t be much longer.

Warmest regards,

Jay Tannenbaum
