that's it I'm switching all 4 of my iPhone 16gb for 4 vzw storms today.,.!!!!!!!
First of all, wtf do you have 4 iphones for?
Oh, and hey dipshit, the storm doesn't have wifi. RTFA....
If I was going to watch tv on the go, it would be shows i've downloaded/ripped and transferred to my device, like iphone. However, I never, ever do that. The most I'd use it for is long trips (which doesn't have wifi-90% of the time) or I'd just watch joost or youtube.
Meh.
Or, you know, download ORB to your computer, let it transcode on the fly, and access all your media files (Live TV if you install a $50 tuner) on the go, for free, using the 3g bandwidth you already pay for.
Meh, would have been more useful if the app connected to hulu
I am not worthy
Pay $8 a month to stream the episodes on your tiny phone screen or watch them on your home TV or computer for free via Hulu, NBC.com, fox.com, etc....
Bad April fool joke or you being serious?
yea, but think about the possibilities. You could watch TV while you poo!
Cool, but 8 bucks a month? When you can just hit up a laptop and surf on over to fox, nbc, or whatever website and watch for free? If somebody would just make it simple to install flash on our devices, you could just use Hulu for the same thing? Its a step in the right direction though...
Someday our mobile devices will be as versatile with web content as any laptop or pc even.
Hulu support!
The day I can stream any live NFL game on my phone is the day I will buy something like this. And no, NFL Mobile on Sprint doesn't count becaue it's only NFL Network games and it's extremely sloppy. The NFL radio feature is nice, but only when it stops buffering every 20 seconds.
Sorry, but... this is dead to me.
I can watch TV for FREE on my laptop. I can install a Sling Player and watch whatever I want from my Tivo using WiFi on a BlackBerry already. So WHY would I pay $8/month for this?
A fee to watch TV over 3G I could understand. I still wouldn't pay it, but I'd at least understand.
Upgrade the browser to support Flash. Then we can all just watch Hulu and TV.com without any charges.
I'm sure people would think I'm out of my mind here, but Hulu could make a KILLING putting out apps to watch their content on smartphones. Even though Hulu is free on the web, I would GLADLY pay for a dedicated app on my device. I know I'm not alone. Browser schmowser. Almost every carrier has thier own mobile TV solution via a dedicated app, and although the quality is decent and they do work in the grand scheme of things, almost all of them suffer from shitty lineups. A Hulu app would be one of the things I use most on my device.
Wow, who gives a shit? Buy a $50 16GB microSD, and cop the shows off iTunes or BT or wherever you choose. Instead of $7.99 a MONTH (good GOD) you can get the content for $2 an episode off iTunes (for keeps, AND to watch on your PC), then rip the DRM off (if it even exists, I don't know); then convert it to the format compatible with your phone, often in only a few steps! And let's face it, if you have a smartphone, chances are you're savvy enough to do this kinda stuff.
Does the Blackberry support Apple's DRM?
Well.. I'd think at that point you jump into a legal grey area. You've paid for the right to view the content. So, I'd feel it's fair to then get it off Bittorrent after you've bought it so you could turn around and re-encode the video for your device. I'm sure there's ways to remove the DRM from the iTunesMS video as well. Not sure.
Why can't we all get free TV in our phones? The F'n tech has been around since the 80's...just use the app the dude from The great Space Coaster used. He had a flip style mini video player 20 years ago for Christ sake!
Why not just a add a TV tuner like many other civilized countries.
To fix the economy Obama should pass another trillion dollar bailout, it's worked so well so far...
Yeah, really. We actually get beautiful 1080 and 720 OTA from a couple Eastern Carolina channels. Way out here on the OBX, imagine that. I could use some of that on my phone.
Dream on.
above comment meant for bradscoles.
..."NOT" meant for bradscoles, meant for geoff...
oh, fsck it.
