SlingPlayer 1.1 does 3G streaming…not in the US

Sling has submitted a refresh of its popular iPhone application(iTunes Link) with some nice extras.  Both native DISH support and Widescreen 16:9 (full iPhone) viewing are on the version 1.1 list but something that will get tounges wagging is also being submitted.  Sling 1.1 is gearing up to work over 3G networks …as long as that network isn’t AT&T in the US.  It isn’t certain whether you’ll be able to take your AT&T-locked iPhone overseas to get your Daily Show fix, but with AT&T’s absurd international roaming rates, who’d want to even test this?

(ahem FCC? Anyone home? Think AT&T had anything to do with this App Store decision?)
