Is is simply the cool factor?
For watching it on the PPC, it is a bit of the cool factor, but there are also some useful purposes.
  • Stuck in an airport and have no desire to whip out the laptop.
  • In your home and you want to watch TV in the bathroom (yes its crazy but cool)
  • Riding in a car (noticed I said not driving) and watching TV. No need for Nav-TV
  • At a boring event and wish to do something else.
Those are few things I can think for the PPC version. Again, Slingbox is geared for travelers that are always on the go.
