Slingbox for the Ultra-Mobile PC
(There are too many variations in the spelling of Ultramobile, Ultra-Mobile, Ultra Mobile PCs...)
I came across this article in CNET from March 9, 2006 about Sling Media, the maker of the Slingbox, coming out with support for Ultra Mobile PCs (Project Origami) for their Slingbox product. The article posted on Sling Media's website gives a longer description and says there will be a customized application that leverages the touch screen and resolution of the Ultra Mobile PC operating system.
I checked the Sling Media download pages and couldn't find any separate or customized download for their SlingPlayer Desktop software. True it's been 3 years since the announcement but you'd figure a touchscreen application for PCs would still be useful considering Windows 7's arrival.
Oh well, worth a shot. Has anyone tried running the Slingbox Desktop on their UMPCs with with any success? (It's a shame I got rid of mine a while ago!)
