FLO TV brings TV on the go – keeps kids quiet during long drives

I’ve been following the mobile TV market for some time now – I have a particular interest in this stuff, as it means the difference between 4 hours of “I Spy” or 4 hours of listening to my own music while the back seat passenger listens to Dora.

FLO TV has been available through mobile operators for some time now, but today, Qualcomm has announced the FLO TV personal television – a true portable TV solution.

The FLO TV itself is a $249.99 3.5 inch touch screen TV, with a built in kickstand and speaker. Browsing channels appears to be pretty easy, and the channel lineup includes content from MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, CNN and more.

Sadly, TV on the road does not come cheap – all this entertainment will cost you $8.99/month. In the fine print, you’ll find that the $8.99/month price is only valid on a three year prepaid plan.

The FLO TV personal television will be available later this year, just in time for the holiday season. If you can’t wait, you can get FLO TV on selected AT&T and Verizon devices, check this page for more information.
