The announcement that FLO TV is coming to your iPhone by way of a chunky dock-connected attachment may be yesterday’s news (last November to be exact), but word out of CES 2010 is that the company has teamed with Juice Pack maker Mophie to streamline the whole shebang.
The concept of mobile TV on your iPhone or iPod touch just got a lot more exciting with the news today of
FLO TV partnering with
Mophie to put their Live FLO hardware into the cutting-edge Juice Pack,
according to Engadget.
Now, not only will you get oodles more battery life out of your device, but you can view your favorite live entertainment, sports and news from the world’s top entertainment brands as well. FLO TV already boasts many of the largest broadcast & cable networks including ABC, CBS, CNBC, CNN, ESPN, Fox, MTV, NBC, TLC and many others.
“We are uniting our vision of advancing mobile TV across a range of devices and platforms with Mophie’s unrivaled expertise in designing intelligent cases for Apple users,” said Bill Stone, president of FLO TV. “Together, our solution will be a true live mobile TV product available to iPhone and iPod touch users.”
Mophie, designer of the world’s thinnest Apple-certified external battery & protective case, is equally excited about the possibilities. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to elevate our intelligent case design through this creative product collaboration and deliver the ultimate mobile television experience for iPhone users,” said Shawn Dougherty, vice president.
The new products will integrate Mophie’s intelligent case design with a built-in FLO TV receiver that allows iPhone and iPod touch users to watch live television at the flip of a switch, while using the device as back-up battery power in-between charges.
Needless to say, a FLO TV subscription will be required in addition to the new Mophie Juice Pack, and the fruits of the new partnership aren’t expected to ship until the first half of this year.
