FLO TV, a division of Qualcomm, and mophie, an iPhone and iPod accessories company, have teamed up to develop a series of products to bring live mobile TV to the iPhone and iPod touch. Details are scant on the products, but the companies seem well-equipped for the job. FLO TV has created their own personal TV device that we weren't fans of, but the company's obviously working on its mobile TV offerings. And mophie has several iPod and iPhone accessories under their belt, including a newly announced credit card reader.
The announcement comes the same day we tested out the Valups Tivit, a digital TV tuner for iPhones and BlackBerrys, at CES. It's the first great device we've seen that supports Mobile DTV, the new free TV system which will beam local TV stations to handhelds beginning in 2010.
Regardless if FLO TV or the Tivit take off, there's no doubt that 2010 will be a big year for mobile TV. Stay tuned for more updates.
