AT&T certainly made a few of us happy yesterday when it announced that the iPhone SlingPlayer app (http://www.engadget.com/tag/sling,iphone) would now be allowed to run over its 3G network (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/atandt-letting-slingplayer-stream-over-3g-on-the-iphone-at-long-la/), but the carrier apparently embellished the facts a little when it said Sling had optimized the app to be "more bandwidth sensitive" -- Sling's John Santoro told Ars Technica that it "didn't change anything," and that "AT&T never discussed specific requirements with us." So much for that happy narrative -- although it makes sense to us, given that SlingPlayer has always run just fine on AT&T Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and S60 devices. It's cool, though, Sling isn't sweating it: "Whatever the reason, we're just glad AT&T has approved it." Now it's just up to Apple to let it through the App Store -- any day now, guys.Sling says it didn't change iPhone SlingPlayer for AT&T (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/sling-says-it-didnt-change-iphone-slingplayer-for-atandt/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:11:00 EST.
