SlingMedia really knows how to build up hype for their new SlingPlayer BlackBerry client. After my terrible screenshots using my compact Canon camera at CES I finally have a high resolution picture to share with you. Check it out after the jump. If you are wondering what a SlingBox or SlingPlayer is check out this Wikipedia article or their website www.slingmedia.com.
Fiona from SlingMedia just sent me this picture and it gives you a better idea of what the player looks like. If anything the player just looks slick. I also noticed the menu has changed from what I saw live at CES. At CES you used the menu button but in this new screenshot it looks like it has a carousel to switch channels. The player itself just looks more well rounded.
If your interested in getting in line to try the SlingPlayer for BlackBerry Beta sign up using the instructions in this previous post.
Check out the official screenshot of the SlingPlayer BlackBerry Client below. The washed out picture is from CES. the nice crisp one is more recent.
Compare that to the live screenshot I took at CES a week ago:
