It's time to check in again on the Slingbox's journey to Mac OS X, as Dave Zatz pinged us with some more details and a purty picture he took off one of the new Slingbox AV models at Best Buy. Tur out there are going to be three new models - Tuner, AV and Pro. Tuner ($150) goes the bare bones route for regular cable or ante a, AV ($180)can interact with a set top box, and Pro ($250) is the One to Rule Them All%26trade; with su ort for multiple feeds and that hot new 'HD' thing the internets keep talking about. The interesting thing, as you can see, is that these new models list su ort for Mac OS X (as well as Symbian) right on the box, but as we learned a couple weeks ago, the company is still in the middle of a private beta of their SlingPlayer software for the Mac - nothing is public yet. So for now, it sounds like they're cranking out these boxes without actually having any way for John Doe Mac user to work with them, though after an update over on Dave Zatz's original story, we might have a public beta of the software very soon.
If any of you rush out to grab one of these, feel free to let us know if there are some wires mixed here and Mac OS X software actually is shi ing in the box.
