Ready for watching some Sling streaming TV on your webOS or Android phone? Well it looks like Sling Media is looking forward to offer its SlingPlayer to Android and webOS phones. Before it can really do that the company is looking to hire a Mobile Interface Designer who has lots of Android and/or webOS experience. I wonder how the carriers feel about all this. Will they let their future webOS and Android subscribers watch TV via Sling Player all at once?

In the mean time if you’re looking for a job at Sling Media and meet the following conditions:

Be knowledgeable about and/or interested in becoming an expert on the existing user interface paradigms used on iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android, and Palm WebOS

and then go ahead and apply for it! You might just the key person that will bring Sling TV to our future smartphones.

Hulu and Sling Media are interested in providing streaming TV services to the iPhone in the USA and Orange and Vodafone are thinking similar thoughts in Europe. And particularly in France and Portugal. Orange France and Vodafone Portugal will both offer TV on the Go services to theri consumers.

“TV from Orange” is available for either a monthly plan or a pay-as-you-go deal. No less than 60 different TV channels will be available to iPhone owners. In Portugal “Vodafone Mobile TV” is a free application in the App Store and it will come with features like Fast Channel Switching which should offer you a TV-like experience.

The two carriers will probably launch similar services in other markets soon so get ready for them. How much would you be willing to pay for the service?

Sling Media made its SlingPlayer available for most mobile platforms out there so it was time the iPhone got its version too. The application is almost ready to come out and when it does you will able to take full advantage of your SlingPlayer Mobile straight from your iPhone. While the iPhone application will surely cost you a penny or two but Sling Media will offer SlingPlayer for Mac HD free of charge. That means you will be able to stream HD content from your Slingbox PRO-HD straight to your Mac.

The YouTube video above doesn’t look that great but the iPhone player will get you much better video quality when it will arrive later this quarter. We’re probably waiting for Apple to approve it, right Apple?
