Mix in the fact that you limit the device to only when you have a connection. What about if I have a 8 hour trip to somewhere in Western Europe? What if the area I'm driving through has poor reception? As long as they keep the hardware less obvious to actually using the software, this shouldn't be a problem at all.]]>Nov 20th 2009 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Nov 20th 2009 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/
Nice BS there. You obviously haven't been to TVCatchup.com]]>Nov 20th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/
If it doesn't, I'm not interested. ]]>Nov 20th 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Okay, that was a brilliantly obscure reference!

Might have been nice to have an explanation, engadget...]]>Nov 20th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Nov 20th 2009 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Of course google is my friend, but then what's the point of Engadget?
My gripe is they should have explained this a little better and the quality of this article, especially in the technical aspect, is quite poor in my opinion.

"Not too many details at the moment, just some pics that Electricpig snapped of a handset running a proof-of-concept app that relys on an external device for reception, streaming re-runs of Mayberry R.F.D. to your handset via WiFi"

That makes it sound like it actually operate over WiFi, but after doing some more research, I see that the only reason it connects to the iPhone is to receive power. It receives signals OTA (similar to DMB in Korea), and then streams the signal to the iphone via wifi.

Who wants to take bets on how fast this will drain the phone's battery? So you're on cell providers 3g network, sending power to this hunk of crap device, and you have WiFi turned on, to receive signals from this hunk of crap device. Gentlemen, place your bets.

I give it about 30 minutes of viewing time :).

Slingbox with a hacked iphone \ 3gtricker sounds better to me, at least for now.

Aren't directv \ etc providers going to offer online viewing soon anyways? All we need are 4g \ LTE networks, and there ya go, no more need for portable OTA tv devices.]]>Nov 20th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Nov 20th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Nov 20th 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Nov 20th 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Nov 20th 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/flo-tv-for-iphone-proof-of-concept-caught-in-the-wild/Nov 20th 2009 4:45PM
