Slingers, rejoice!  Sling Media has come out and stated they are “actively moving towards H.264” and Microsoft Silverlight video support to bring the Slingplayer application to the iPad and Windows Phone 7 Series devices sometime in the near future.  The move to these video formats will increase the current resolution of the player from 320×240 to something larger and more expansive.  Slingplayer HD, perhaps?  Sling had this to say on the matter: “When it makes a noticeable difference in quality, we will definitely provide higher resolution streaming. The iPad is a good example of a device where we are hard at work on this, but unfortunately it won’t be there at the April launch.”  Patience is a virtue.  That’s what they say, right?
