Remember FLO TV? We'd forgive you if Qualcomm's standalone streaming TV handheld had slipped your mind; after all, the market for a dedicated device for mobile TV (that's already available on certain mainstream cellphones) seems pretty limited.

Any parent will tell you that the key to surviving trips of any length in the car with kids is a TV inside the car. Without a TV, a long road trip would be hellish with my kids. The other issue when you have a TV inside on long trips is that the kids get tired of watching the same old movies after a while. Audiovox and FLO TV have announced that their live TV system for vehicles is making its way to new car dealers around the country. Read The Full Story
