LG Invision

AT&T and LG today announced a new multimedia device for users who want the “best in video on their mobile phone” – LG Invision. The fairly ugly candybar is the third device that is compatible with the mobile operator’s mobile TV offering. At the same time, at just a little more than 4 inches tall, 2 inches wide and less than one-half an inch thick, the Invision is the smallest mobile TV-capable phone in the U.S.

Aside from sporting a mobile TV receiver, it also comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, 3G radio, Bluetooth, and more. The phone will sing along AT&T Mobile Music, allowing users to access music from eMusic, Napster To Go, as well as listen to the streaming digital radio by XM Radio Mobile.

The Invision is available in all company-owned AT&T stores and online at for $99.99 with a new two-year agreement and $50 mail-in rebate.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

    I got rid of my cable connection recently and went “internet only.” I know about those places like Hulu and such where you can watch pre-recorded TV shows. But I’m looking for a service where you can watch actual TV channels live as a replacement for cable. You know, where you can flip through channels of the big broadcasters and see TV shows and sports games as they’re broadcasted.

    What do you guys think?
