Mobile entertainment from FLO TV available today

by Scott Carmichael on

About a month ago I wrote about a new mobile entertainment device called FLO TV. The technology behind FLO has been around for some time, and has been available to AT&T and Verizon Wireless subscribers. Starting today, you can also get your entertainment fix on the portable FLO TV personal television.

With mobile TV like this, you’ll be able to finally watch something decent when you are stuck at the airport, or use it to keep your kids entertained during those long road trips.

The 3.5″ screen delivers programming from over 15 channels, and the TV itself costs $249, which includes a 6 month subscription.

We’ll try and bring you a full review of this mobile entertainment device as soon as we can get our hands on a unit! If you don’t want to wait on a review, you can order FLO TV today from Amazon, or pick one up on store at your local Best Buy.

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.
