Yeah, but don't forget the smarter BB users made sure to get with an EVDO carrier. I actually feel for for users that don't get the full effect with their BB due to being on EDGE. At one point I was one of those users. I had a 7100i on Nextel, and a 7100t with T-Mobile, and I'll be honest with you, I never even used the browser because it was just so slow. Now being on Sprint's EVDO it is the difference between night and day on the speed with the browser; I actually use it daily now. Even when I tether it via Bluetooth, I'm getting download speeds over 1mb.

I can't see Slingbox ruling out BB at all since it's used by most fortune 500 companies and almost everyone in the entertainment industry, which means spending $250 on a Slingbox is nothing to them, especially when it's part of their "work".
