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.

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.
