As promised, Sling Media has released a version of its SlingBox software client (already available for the BlackBerry, Palm OS, Symbian S60, and Windows Mobile platforms) for the iPhone and iPod touch.

With SlingPlayer Mobile installed on an iPhone, those with a Slingbox device attached to their television will be able view 'placeshifted' cable, satellite, or digital video recorder (DVR) content remotely anywhere in the world through a wireless broadband - 3G cellular or Wi-Fi - Internet connection on their smartphone.

In the case of a DVR, for example, users can not only watch recorded shows, but pause and rewind live TV or queue new recordings from their smartphone as well.

The Sling Player client for iPhone goes for $29.99. See here for more info.
