Slingbox officially out

SlingtopWe reported this last week but need to say it again - THE SLINGBOX IS OUT! I can't totally agree with the PVR Blog on their assessment it's for slackers at work, but I guess that's one use. I personally see this as a great alternative for TV at your camp, second house, or even in another room in the house that uses a media pc.

"Engadget is reporting that the Slingbox is out and available from CompUSA and BestBuy for $249. The Slingbox is a device that lets you view recorded content on your network from anywhere in the world, what they call "placeshifting". They made a big splash at CES earlier this year when I got to check it out. It's a cool concept, but I can't think of many uses beyond watching stuff recorded on your home TiVo while sitting at work, which is a killer app for those slacking away at jobs they hate, but not exactly worth $249."
