Slingbox working on software for BlackBerry OS

Sling Media, maker of the Slingbox, has confirmed to U.K.-based IT site Pocket-lint that it is working on a version of its LocationFree software for the BlackBerry OS.

Note: That's not a BlackBerry up there. Slingbox already offers a mobile product for Windows Mobile, Palm OS and Symbian-powered mobiles.

Add BlackBerry to that roster.

"We are working with BlackBerry to develop a software application at the moment", Stuart Collingwood, VP of Europe for Sling Media tells Pocket-lint.

No date yet, but when this functionality is enabled, BlackBerry users will be able to stream their television programs from home- such as from a tv or TiVo- to their enabled BlackBerrys.
