It's a happy week for Android smartphone owners, who want full-time access to their home-based media. Sling Media has released the Android version of their terrific SlingPlayer Mobile application: the junior sibling of their PC-based flagship app.

The SlingBox is a perfect solution and when it comes down to the bottom line, it’s affordable, easy to setup, and simply works. I’ve never been able to watch TV this easily from so many places.

Control your home TV? Check Sling, Control your DVR? Sling, Watch TV from anywhere with a Wi-Fi or 3G connection? Sling x2. Want to be the envy of the guy next to you? Sure, why not.

I am literally jumping up and down with excitement about the Slingbox SOLO. In my opinion this is the coolest thing to happen to TV since the DVR. I am a TV addict but even if you are not, this is a product that will be an asset to your life.

I realized what I was missing in my life: a Slingbox - and it might be one of the best purchases I've ever made. The Sling Media Slingbox Solo lets a user sling their cable signal to a portable device (i.e. laptop, netbook, and even an iPhone). I set one up at my house, and compared to a lot of digital viewing accessories, this one was really simple to figure out.
