By pure coincidence Sling has announced that the SlingPlayer Mobile software is now working with Nokia Nseries and Eseries hand sets running the Symbian S60 3rd edition software. The coincidence stems from Nokia’s US launch of the HSDPA N95. That sounds fantastic. I’d love to watch my shows while on the road on my phone. To sweeten the deal Sling is offering current and future N95 purchasers a discount on the Slingbox AV (only $10) and all US N95 customers will be given SlingPlayer Mobile gratis, which retails for $29.99.

Now, I’m not the most phone tech savvy, but weren’t people doing this with the Cingular 8525? Maybe it was just a hack, but it was part of what I wanted to do with the 8925/Tilt. Either way, very cool that this will work legitimately with the Symbian phones.
