LG and AT&T announce smallest Mobile TV handset to date
LG and AT&T announced the LG Invision handset yesterday, a mobile TV-equipped phone that is being heralded as the smallest mobile television-capable product on the market. The Invision, aside from its TV capabilities, is a pretty run of the mill affair, sporting a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, 3G (of course), and little else. Viewing TV on its diminutive screen doesn’t’ sound terribly appealing to us, but if the prospect of a 4″ tall x 2″ wide mobile television in your pocket is too appealing to pass up, you can pick one up for $99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. Not too shabby, but not exactly our cup of tea either. For our money, we’ll stick to a SlingBox coupled with a screen big enough to see what we’re watching.
The quality that AT&T has on these phones for their TV service is great. I personally like the TV on the VU better then Slingbox on my Touch Cruise.
Lol.. even this pos has iphone styling..
HAHA! It’s just as ugly as the LG Access!! Terrible!
Is it just me or is the earpiece missing on the phone?
I don’t think it’s ugly at all. I really like the styling of it. I just wish that it had a better camera. a 1.3 mp isn’t gonna cut it anymore.
The LG Vu is only 30.00 higher and has a much bigger screen. It would have sold much better if they didn’t use the cheap case. A Vu 2 should come out with a heavier casing, better camera and better response when you touch the screen.
