SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry devices is now available as a free (30 day trial) public beta from Sling. The cost after your first 30 days is a one time fee of $29.99 – the same that users on the Palm, Symbian and Windows Mobile platform pay for the mobile use of Sling. Unfortunately the setup of SlingPlayer Mobile seems to require the use of the Windows 2.0 SlingPlayer client which shuts me out form testing this at the moment. UPDATE: You can enter your Slingbox information manually if you chose not to log into your Sling.com account.

This is an odd duck that shuts out Mac users. The help files claim that you can add your SlingBox password via the BlackBerry client but what I see is view only.

I have no idea why Sling won't allow me to setup my password online versus having to use the Windows v2 client.

Update: Looks like you can set this up manually on the BlackBerry. You just have to chose NOT to login to Sling then supply your Finder ID and Password.
