Intrepid researchers and those who just like to tear into shrinkwrap have found that Sling Media's new boxes may support both Symbian and Palm OSs in the near future. sling, the provider of set-top boxes that allow viewers to watch what's on their home TVs via PCs and laptops that are broadband-connected, launched a mobile client months ago, but only supported Windows Mobile. Now, the new Sling boxes being shipped carry a Symbian logo alongside other supported platforms, and a sticker covers what is revealed to be a Palm logo as well. Seems Sling guessed wrong about when the new platforms would be compatible.
