Slingplayer Mobile for iPhone - How f'ing cool is this? My video demo included.

So I just downloaded the Slingplayer Mobile app for the iPhone. It's pretty darn amazing. I had bought the original Slingplayer Mobile for Windows Mobile and I thought that was good. This iPhone version blows it away. Below is my quick video demo (apologies for quality - I only have the MacBook iSight camera available). There are a ton more things in the app, just didn't have the time to go through them all. I'm running this from my original Classic Slingbox (which isn't officially supported). Supposedly for the full effect, you need to buy one of their newer Slingboxes (how convenient, no?). The only drawback I can see so far is that the app was hobbled by Apple/AT&T to only run on WiFi. At least the original Slingplayer Mobile for WinMo worked no matter what connection you had. If you already own a Slingbox and either an iPhone or iPod Touch, this is probably the best app you could ever buy. Well worth the $30 price. Let's hope that AT&T gets their act together and allows the 3G connection so this app can be used to its fullest.

This is a much needed upgrade!

iPhone 3.0 Firmware Taking Better Pictures than 2.2.1?

One of many things that need to be fixed on the iPhone (still wouldn't trade it for any phone currently on the market). I always thought it was the hardware but it looks like software improvements could be made. I hear the new iPhone will have a 3MP+ camera which should help, as well.

Blood test ... feeling woozy

Just went in for my end of vegetarian blood test. Feeling a little light headed but after an egg and tomato bagel, I'm getting my groove back. I have to say, Kaiser gets a bad rap but for routine things like check ups, lab work, etc. they run a very efficient shop. I got into the lab at about 9:15am and was out by 9:30am. Lab tech couldn't get a vein on the first try so I was double poked. She was very nice though so it was no big thang. BTW, I took this shot myself using FastCamera's timer feature. Again, great iPhone app!
