It's official, SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry will be available as a public beta starting on December 30th. Sling Media announced early in the year they were working on a version for the BlackBerry, but up until now access to the beta was limited. SlingPlayer Mobile allows you to watch and control your home TV and DVR via your Slingbox (sold seperately).

The following are on Sling's list of recommended devices:

• BlackBerry Bold
• BlackBerry 8820
• BlackBerry Curve 8320
• BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220
• BlackBerry Pearl 8120

Sling Media "strongly recommends" a 3G connection. At this time, it appears the BlackBerry Storm is not among the supported devices.
