FLO TV Personal Television Brings Mobile TV To Dedicated Screen

We got a glimpse at FLO TV’s future plans at a CES pre-show event in June, and now everything’s really coming into focus. FLO TV provides mobile television services for US carriers–you may have heard of it if you have an AT&T smartphone or Sprint TV. But generally speaking, adoption on mobile TV on cellphones has lagged behind in the US, while it’s more openly accepted in international destinations.

In order to bolster interest in its programming services, the company has now launched a dedicated FLO TV Personal Television that does exactly what you’d think it would. It’s a portable TV that tunes into FLO TV programming regardless of where you are in America. Having TV on your person at all times still seems a bit different here in America, but we think it has a fighting chance to take off.

The device itself is small and light–just 5oz. and 4.4″ x 3″ x 0.5″ in size. It has a 3.5″ touch-screen and a built-in battery good for watching 5 hours of television or standing by for over 300 hours. If you want to change the channel, you simply swipe your finger on the screen. It also includes an integrated stand for sitting it on your desk and watching some TV on company time, built-in stereo speakers and even a reminder service to catch your favorite shows. – Hot Hardware
