Slingbox updates

There's a whole slew of updates coming out of the Sling Media camp this week.

The SlingCatcher launch has been pushed back to this fall.
Sling Media released a firmware update for all Slingbox models with some minor networking fixes.
HP is shipping selected laptops with SlingPlayer preinstalled.

Of course, having SlingPlayer preinstalled does no good unless you also shell out the money for a Slingbox. But with PC makers constantly dangling incentives like free printers or flash drives in order to convince you to buy their model, perhaps we'll see a notebook/Slingbox bundle some time down the road?

The nice thing about HP's SlingPlayer integration is that the application has been added to HP's QuickPlay software, meaning you can load up the SlingPlayer to watch streaming television without fully booting up your PC.
