I always wondered why no one had invented a mobile commercial player. When I watch TV commercials at home I'm always like "OMG I have to go out and buy that" Now I can just carry this thing around and it will tell me what to buy and think. It's really cool it has MSNBC and Fox News too because I don't know anything about politics but if I repeat things I hear on there people think I'm smart. I just wish there was less talking in-between the commercials. Sometimes I have to wait like 5 minutes to see a commercial. That really sucks. <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MAXX POWER]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2009 8:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Switched On: The TV is personal again]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</guid><description><![CDATA[@(Unverified) Thanks for sharing, Andy Rooney.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ManekiNeko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 4th 2009 5:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Switched On: The TV is personal again]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</guid><description><![CDATA[wow who is this ross gartnbirg or michal rubbin i don't know]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AndroidRokz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2009 8:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Switched On: The TV is personal again]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'll stick to OrbLive on my iPhone from Orb Networks: It's all the regular channels I get at home through the tuner of my PC, all over the world as long as I have an Edge, 3G or WiFi connection...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[leon2paris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2009 8:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Switched On: The TV is personal again]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</guid><description><![CDATA[honestly, who watches cnbc?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[joshua]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2009 8:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Switched On: The TV is personal again]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</guid><description><![CDATA[Problem with this service is the coverage for it is just for bigger cities.<br><a href="http://www.flotv.com/whats-on-flo-tv/map" rel="nofollow">http://www.flotv.com/whats-on-flo-tv/map</a><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pherball66]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2009 9:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Switched On: The TV is personal again]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/switched-on-the-tv-is-personal-again/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Pherball66 <br><br>Well it's that- UOOGH!!!!!
