Ooooo nooooo! SlingMobile for iPhone won't work on 3G

OK, so AT&T wants to screw around? Here's a modest proposal:

What are we allowed? 4GB a month? I suggest we all use every last bit of bandwidth we can, right up to the limit. And all of us post it and ask every iPhone owner we know to do the same.

Jon;

Sell it to me... :)

Meh. This is obvious. AT&T controls the 3G Stream. They don't want a competing application using their bandwidth because it will hog it down or it will compete with something they are going to launch.

Seriously, Apple has to grow some little apples here and tell AT&T to let them use the 3G Stream for Apps like this, which will sell more iphones and more accounts into AT&T.

Not running on 3G and only on WiFi is Armed Robbery with some Larceny too, since we can use Sling client on laptops for FREE on a bigger screen, why would anyone pay $30 for it if it only on Wifi? EPIC FAIL!!!

To put it bluntly, this is bull shit. Just flat out customer abuse on the part of AT&T. Charging full price for an UNLIMITED DATA PLAN, and then not allowing us to use it is criminal. Why does our government not step in and "get our backs" in these types of cases? I don't mean specifically the iphone sling app, but in general...they'll harass the s**t out of MLB for a drug issue, but they won't help Joe Public when they are being RAPED BY BIG BUSINESS!!!


AT&T can go F**K themselves and so can apple. I'm selling my iphone, and going back to sprint. In 7 years as a customer, I never once had sprint tell me what I was allowed to do with my phone.

I'm pissed! F Att, F Apple, F the Governement!!! It's all their fault!! Ok though, I was serious up until this line...lol

$30 for App.
+
79.99 for Sling Link (Because not everyone has their receiver right next to their router!)
+
179.99 For SLing Box player

= $290 for a Wifi Only Feature? Get Real. Apple,SLing, AT&T You All Suck for this.

The Phone itself didnt cost that much!

No dice for me... Only time I really use Wi-Fi for my iPhone is at home... and there I have my computer. $30 for Wi-Fi only is a definite downer for the app... having a free PC solution is doubly so.

Instead of "new" or "what's hot" in the App store, this one should be in the category of "over-priced and over-hyped."

F*** at&t!!! I'll just use voipover3G from cydia, add the new sling app, and use my "unlimited" service the way those jerks advertise it.

As I posted elsewhere....

Since I have an iPod Touch and an AV. I'll take it. After Sling pulled the upgrade BS, I held off on buying a license for my work Blackberry.

I really want to use the Touch to watch TV outside this summer, while I'm out there with the kids. But I'm hoping I'll be able to move the license back to the BB in the winter when I would prefer to watch in other locations.

Anyway, I'm glad I didn't fall for Sling's upgrade scheme - I was hoping the word "supported" in the "... software like SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone and future services yet to be announced will only be supported for customers using Slingbox SOLO..." was there only to prevent a class-action and not meaning "required."
