Electric pig tv is reporting that TV fans will soon be watching their favourite shows live on Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch. We just had a chat with an extremely senior source at Sling, who said: “iPhone and iPod touch are OS X devices, and we can write OS X apps with our eyes closed. It’s coming.”

Specific dates for the new software are fuzzy at best, but with Steve Jobs having pledged a development kit by February, and due to take to the stage at Macworld in less than a week, we’d expect it extremely soon.

Strangely, our source said the iPod touch could provide a better platform for Slingplayer, thanks to its exclusive Wi-Fi connection. The company appears to be concerned that Edge is not fast enough to stream TV at acceptable quality, resulting in a poor experience for customers.

Any what is Electric pig TV? Beats the hell out of me but I like the fact that they have some good news regarding the iPhone and Slingbox.
