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.
