Hands-on with Dyle Mobile TV, broadcasting live to a handset near you (video)

On January 12, 2012, In Gadgets, by RoxieFelipe671

Dyle couldn’t have found a better showcase than CES to exhibit its next gem. It’s only been a few days since we first heard that the joint venture between MetroPCS and the Mobile Content Venture would bear fruit in 2012, and, well, we’re in Las Vegas and we’ve seen it take its first steps. Although live TV broadcasting to mobile devices couldn’t exactly be considered cutting-edge, judging by our time with the handset, this is one of the greater implementations of the concept.

Study shocker! Mobile users piddle around on the internet while watching TV

On January 29, 2011, In Gadgets, News, by wordek13

Shocker of shockers , folks: people do more than just watch TV when they’re watching TV. A study of over 8,000 willing individuals from Nielsen and Yahoo recently discovered that some 86 percent of mobile internet users tinker around on their devices while situated in front of the tube. It seems that Googling random facts, checking their Facebook news feed and seeing who has tweeted in the past 30 seconds were atop the list of activities to do while watching, but strangely, a full 20 percent confessed to search for more information about a commercial they recently saw

FLO TV rebates for devices and service are now live

On December 9, 2010, In Gadgets, by Lobo

FLO TV said that it would be refunding the eight folks who actually bought into its services once it made the tough decision to shut things down on March 27, 2011, and lo and behold, it’s a promise kept. What we weren’t expecting, however, was any sort of monetary compensation for hardware , but it looks as if FLO TV will be providing some sort of rebate amount to those who purchased a FLO TV Personal Television , Audiovox Portable DVD Player with FLO TV or FLO TV Auto Entertainment center . It’s unclear how much you’ll be getting back — you’ll need to go through the entire rebate process to find out — but you will be reimbursed for any prepaid FLO TV services that you’re no longer interested in using (or won’t be able to use due to the March 2011 cutoff)

SlingPlayer Mobile for Android review

On July 12, 2010, In Gadgets, by Lobo

The World Cup may have just ended, but whether you’re into football or not, there must have been a point over the last five weeks where you or someone you know moaned about missing a live goal. This is where SlingBox comes in — in case you didn’t know already, it’s a little networked box that piggybacks on your set-top box’s AV and IR ports, thus stuffing your TV experience into your computer or cellphone via WiFi or even 3G. Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Symbian, BlackBerry and iOS have been mingling with the SlingPlayer Mobile app for some time now, and for the same $29.99 tag, Android users can now also join the party.

Interview: Chuck Pagano talks ESPN 3D, mobile streaming

On June 12, 2010, In Gadgets, Technology, by Lobo

During our time at ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut this past week, we were able to peek inside every nook and cranny of the company’s technological side. We discovered some pretty remarkable things about the culture and attitude toward innovation, and while the bulk of that discovery will be seen in a forthcoming Engadget Show segment, we couldn’t help but share some insight from a kind fellow who has been deeply involved in the blinking lights portion of ESPN from day one.

No surprise the LG Arena has finally arrived on AT&T after we saw those spyshots earlier this year — although it is packing AT&T Mobile TV, so that’s a nice touch. Everything else is as predicted: 3-inch WVGA screen, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, GPS, and WiFi

On January 9, 2010, In Apple, Gadgets, by Lobo

You won’t know it by the product’s official name, but this is the FLO TV appendage for the iPhone that’s been teased since November last year . Combining a mobile TV receiver with Mophie’s juice pack, this is 2mm thicker and noticeably heavier than the normal external battery pack
