IPTV will crush FLO TV before it has a chance to take off.
@willowtwf You think? Then why is IPTV still nowhere after a half-dozen years of focus?
Bit off topic but...
Loved the little side link about the Doritos commercial, keep up the good work Engadget. Side stories are always a plus.
@Contrail the Kid Ha, thanks!
The actor in that spot is my brother-in-law. Pretty sweet!

Touch screen for the back seat passengers? So your kids can un-buckle their seat belts because they want to mess with the menus? I don't know about that.
I'd love to see someone try and touch the screen while going over a speed bump. ;)
Remote's good enough for me.
WOW i would love one those for the long trips, looks like something they would put in your car on Pimp My Ride :D
This would be great if it had Netflix integration. Sadly, there is nothing on TV worth watching other than sports.
Nice, maybe they'll have more than 5 customers now. http://blog.itag.com/20/you-shut-your-mouth-when-jim-nantz-is-talking/
I've had FloTV on my phone for 2 years, and it's good, until you live the city you're in, then no more coverage, completely useless on long tips.
FloTV doesn't care for the deaf and hard of hearing. They offer ZERO closed captioning. EPIC FAIL!
