Not enough devices support MediaFlo!!!!

It's not even available on any Android smartphones! If my Motorola Droid had MediaFlo built in I would get the service, but there are just so, so few devices on the market that support MediaFlo.

Agree and there isn't a lot of market coverage for it. I can't see paying for it if I can only use it in select cities I can use mobitv almost everywhere.

I prefer free OTA mobile DTV. That way I can get local news and channels just like I am home for free and if premium channels are offered I can pay if I want.

I'm hoping that's the direction things start to go soon. Hopefully some Android smartphones with MobileDTV will be showcased at CES in January.

Agreed. The mobile standard of ATSC is what I'm waiting for. I don't see the sense in paying for TV in my house, let alone on my mobile phone.
Let's start throwing some DTV tuners in these phones (like the one LG showcased) and get it going.

You think there's a good chance we'll see some Android Mobile ATSC enabled smartphones demoed @ CES in January?

Probably. Why wouldn't they put it on an Android phone?

However, the mobile ATSC standard needs to be deployed by many stations to support this. So I expect a couple of years before things get going.

Here you go, here's support by a lot of stations, I think it'll happen sooner than you think.

Hey, I have just over 2 hours left, too! We're matchy-matchy.

But the AC is actually working in here for once, so it's pretty pleasant.

Now if I could only sell some phones today...

By the time I get off it's gonna be 104!

So how's the Evo doing? Is it selling like hotcakes? Are people taking to the !4G! Revolution?

Hey MissChris, tomorrow is my Friday, yayyy!!!!

Hey - tomorrow is my friday, too!! 😁

We sold out of Evo's in a matter of hours, and we've been unable to order them from the warehouse since Friday afternoon. Needless to say, lots of people are walking away empty handed!

Wow, a Sprint store in KC sold 200, and they have 300 *more* on the way!!! They gave rainchecks to people who paid towards an Evo from the next batch. I exchanged some messages with a dude who works @ a Sprint store in KC here on PS in the Sprint forum.

So what time do you get off tomorrow? I get off @ 5pm your time.

I'm probably going to move some of my things into Ron's place, I'm moving to his place for $25 less a month, and less people to share the bathroom with. I'm hoping to have my own place again by May/June of next year!

Sometimes less really is more! Like less rent, and less people using the toilet.

We only had 10 Evos, so I'm not surprised that we sold out so quickly.

I only work 5 hours a day right now, so I'm out at 2:45 my time tomorrow. Can't wait - seems like forever since my last day off!

Damn, only 10 Evo's?!!!?

Yeah, well making these sacrfices are really difficult for me, it's the first time in my entire adult life I've ever had roommates, with the exception of a few girlfriends, the preferred kind of roommate.
I'm hoping to be back on my own by May/June of next year, it just depends on if I can keep up 40hr work weeks.

That sucks that your only getting 5hrs a day.

There's a vibrant wireless industry here in Las Vegas, umm, perhaps you can consider a wireless store here?

We're just a kiosk, so I was glad to get what we did. The Shack here only got 3!!

Roommates are often a necessary evil. I'm broke all the time, but very happy to have an apartment to myself. 🙂 I was working full time, but was in a car accident in Dec of last year, and have been part time ever since. My car insurance is paying me some lost wages, but I also lost my health ins so my life is kind of expensive right now. Just trying to stay positive, and push for a diagnosis.

Yep, 1 thing @ a time.

Well what about you, were you hurt in the accident? Are you ok now?

That's a good insurance company you've got! Sometimes auto insurance companies don't take care of their customers.

My beloved Intrepid was totalled. I survived with a severe aggravation of a prior shoulder injury. My right hand has been numb since the accident, and my shoulder blade hurts all the time. They have no idea what's wrong. Kinda frustrating.

PA is great for car accidents (ha! that sounds funny) b/c MY car insurance pays all my medical bills, even though it wasn't my fault. That is very nice!

The numb hand is kind of a pain, working with cell phones and all. People sure don't like when you drop their phone! 🙄

Is your right hand your main hand? I'm left handed.

Las Vegas has a lot of traffic problems. During Memorial Day weekend, the police had 5 check points throughout the city!!!! Arrested quite a few people for DUI.

Hey, will you chat with me tomorow? I'm not interested in all this Iphone news that will be coming out of the WWD's conference tomorrow. Apple fans are crazzzy!!!!

Oh you are so lucky!! I'm a righty, learning how to use the mouse with my left hand has been interesting, to say the least.

I'd love to chat tomorrow! iphone schmiphone.

Well, have a good rest MissChriss! Talk with'ya in the morning.

I'm looking forward to taking as cold of a shower as I can bear and being in air conditioning, yeah, yeah!!!

YHey Hey MissChris!!!!!

Check out this news headline, I'm psyched about this, cause I'm a security guard on my job, and I'm way, way bored when I'm @ work, so this would be good for me.

You help me pass the time too 😉
