ElectricPig.tv is reporting that an “extremely senior source” at Sling Media has stated that an iPhone/iPod touch version of their SlingPlayer client software is coming.
For those who need further information, Sling Media sells a device called a SlingBox, this SlingBox allows you to stream video from your home television over the internet to any supported device (Mac, PC, Mobile Phone).
A native app for the iPhone/iPod touch would bring the ability to interface with a SlingBox and also watch live TV.
MacRumors fails to dismiss the rumour which comes from a relatively unknown source. The mighty rumour site claims that it knows for sure that SlingMedia is one of the lucky developers to have recieved the iPhone SDK. It was previously reported that the iPhone SDK has reached the hands of some developers.
The iPhone SDK is officially pegged for a February 2008 release.
Finally, MacRumors reports that Apple will show new iPhone software at Macworld but admits that this rumour could refer to the upcoming iPhone 1.1.3 firmware.
