Slingbox goes Mobile

The New York Times has an article covering Slingbox's new mobile feature.  Slingbox is designed:

"to let you, a traveler on the road, watch what's on TV back at your house, or what's been recorded by a video recorder like a TiVo."

Basically, you plug Slingbox into your home network and it will beam TV shows from your DVR or TV to your computer or (now) your mobile device. 

While I think Slingbox is an interesting niche product, its biggest impact is potentially going to be on business models.  A lot of big media companies - and small start-ups - are looking to charge for the delivery of mobile content.  If products like Slingbox can beam content directly to mobile devices from home networks, it will be easy for users to bypass mobile delivery charges.
