Can you point us to where to test it out? It all depends on the video format and how accessible it is.

Default Sling says "WINDOWS-based mobile phone..."

As I listened carefully to the sling demo they clearly say you can send your tv programs to your WINDOWS-based mobile phone. So the questions remain - 1) can you get real live tv on a 700 Palm-based phone
2) will Slingbox work on a Palm-based Treo

I have researched this and I have found that
1) you CAN get live TV, but it's separate from Sprint TV (Sprint TV is only snipets, and the delivery is very sluggish
2) you can subscribe separately to a service like Mobi-TV (www.mobitv.com) ( I have not subscribed because the channel selection is very lame, but it costs about $10/month). If you a nuts about football and want to watch a game live you won't find it here.

Remind me again why I bought a Palm-based phone???

A Palm OS version of the SlingPlayer is currently being beta tested. I would assume that it will be available in the near future.

You're correct that both SprintTV and MobiTV only provide custom video content from existing TV networks and shows.

Another option to explore is Orb, but that will only work if you have a TV tuner in your PC.
