Apple has approved the new version of the SlingPlayer. The SlingPlayer is available in the app store for £29.99 in the UK. The new version of the SlingPlayer includes added features such as, native DISH Network navigation, improved widescreen support, and improved response times throughout the app.
Separately, Sling has updated us on the 3G-compatible flavor of the app that they’ve submitted for consideration outside of the US, but so far, no dice — the company hasn’t heard back from Apple, which means it’s all WiFi-only for the moment. Wouldn’t want to saturate those pricey little 3G cells, now, would we?
There have been a lot of people reporting about the Pirate Bay’s new video site, Techcrunch UK, Mashable and Boy Genius, but the story was broken by the leading site in the Torrent space, TorrentFreak.
The basics of the story are as follows, the Pirate Bay team has continued developing its video streaming site – which will open up to the public within 5 years. On The Video Bay users can share video clips without having to worry about getting them taken offline due to copyright violations, true Pirate Bay-style.
The Pirate Bay team themselves announced about 2 years ago that they were working on a video streaming site, but we had no idea when we would actually see something. Pirate Bay Spokesman Peter Sunde agreed that it might take a while before the site goes live and told us that “it will be done when it’s done, in the future, in like a year or five.”
