You can still win a Slingbox Classic autographed by Tony La Russa. I posted about the giveaway back on the 9th, but it seems Sling still has some of the 75 autographed boxes to give away as Dave Zatz posted about it again today. (If you didn’t know, Dave works for Sling Media. So I’d presume he wouldn’t be posting if they were all claimed.)

It is easy to win – the first 75 people to submit a video, win. It is that simple. So fire up your video camera or web cam and claim your Slingbox. See the official guidelines for details.

Steve Pearl, come on down!

Well, unfortunately Jonkempato never responded to my emails or posts here to claim his, or her, prize. So I ran another drawing and Steve Pearl is the new winner of the SlingPlayer Mobile license.

Bad luck for Jonkempato, but good luck for Steve.

(In the interests of full disclosure, I know Steve from way, way, way, way back on the rec.arts.anime.* newsgroups. The drawing was still random, same Perl script.)

WorldScreen.com has a profile of Jason Hirschhorn, President of Sling Media Entertainment Group. Jason is tasked with developing ‘entertainment experiences’ for the Sling Media products, and the first product from the Entertainment Group is the previously announced ‘Clip+Sling’ application, due later this year.

Beyond licensing content for Clip+Sling, Hirschhorn says that the company is also seeking out completed titles for a new video destination on the Internet. Ultimately, he says, the company wants to be “a bridge between all screens,” whether it’s a PC, television set or a mobile phone. “We are innovators. We love television, we love entertainment. The idea that you have to go home to watch your TV is an old notion. We do everything we do for the audience that loves their Slingbox. They really dictate what we do. Users want access to their video content wherever they are, whenever, however they want it. We want to be one of the systems that are leading that way.”

Sounds like a nice vision to me.
