Going with the FLO not such a dumb idea

August 15, 2007 In a market riveted by Apple's iPhone, it was the LG VX9400 that captured my imagination, with its ability to broadcast a selection of popular live, linear TV channels. Primitive as its core functionality might be (though it also has some VOD options), FLO TV has found more traction in my life than the succession of sample VOD handsets collecting dust on my nightstand (hey, Amp'd, do I even need to return yours?). If I get a moment on a lunch break to pull out my mobile TV, I don't want to shuffle through an endless succession of navigation menus to sort through programming options that aren't refreshed nearly enough.
