I’d have to say that this device has really exceeded my expectations so far. The picture quality is really impressive and I’ve had no problem at all getting clear reception. The screen size is perfect for keeping the device mobile but still plenty large enough to be easy on the eyes.
A couple of things that really jump out at me are:
-Instant channel changing-
It really is like a regular TV. This is where I was most skeptical because I have tried various mobile video products in the past and they all have connecton issues of some sort. But the FLO TV has no buffering, skipping, or sync issues between the video and audio. That alone is worth the money.
-Built in speakers-
You can actually hear this thing without having to crank it up to full volume. Very unusual for any mobile device that has built in speakers. Good sound quality as well.
-Touch screen-
The touch screen is really responsive. You don’t have to use two hands and press down with all your might just to make something happen.
-Battery life-
It is so nice to not have to carry a charger around everywhere. Getting 5 hours worth of battery life versus the standard 1 or 2 hours on other mobile devices will be great.
So far so good. Highly recommended.
Amazon’s Customer Review
I bought this product on Amazon with mostly the hope I could pass to the kids in the backseat on trips. Whether this product will work in this regard still remains to be seen and will likely depend on coverage as I drive around. Out of the box, the PTV-350 looks well made and was easy to activate. It comes with headphones and a polishing cloth. It doesn’t appear to be supported with a case or screen guard just yet but I suppose that will come. As a TV I have to admit I expected better video quality. Although I’m in the burbs outside NYC I do see my fair share of pixelation and artifacts. I was hoping for better. The quality of video doesn’t match downloaded video of an iphone from say itunes but it is TV and sometimes live depending on channel. In the settings it tells me my signal quality is low which is surprizing. Sound is good and changing channels easy. Perhaps the video will get better and hopefully not worse. Overall I see promise. I hope my testing in next few days will reveal it can be used driving around in my area. Update: Drove around and this unit held a signal really good. I also experienced better video once in a stronger signal -much improved. I’m giving it four stars as of now. It looks like it is a keeper.
