Thanks for the info. I would have missed the new Slingbox version.

All I know is that with Slingbox/Palm vers. 1, my Treo brings me clear, smooth TV (100+ channels and still not much on…) and my Tivo recordings, all from a telephone! For example, the NBA playoff games came over “loud and clear” up in the woods in Big Bear, California where we have no internet or TV, but do have a nice Sprint signal.

This will be like a very nice unboxing…of downloaded software. I’ll report back.

By the way, after being one of your steadiest non-tablet-owning readers, the miracle of Craigslist brought me a beautiful “new” Toshiba R15 (big, heavy but wonderful) for considerably less than 500 clams. It is several dimensions slower than the amazing X61, but I love it, especially the WiFi radar screen which, in busy L.A. areas, portrays hotspots like incoming swarms of enemy aircraft. Great fun.
