Electricpig managed to snap a couple pictures of this interesting device by Qualcomm. It's called the Flo TV and it's a proof-of-concept that would allow you to watch live TV on your iPhone.

The trick consists in an external device capturing the TV signal, recompressing it and streaming it to the iPhone over WiFI. I have no idea why Qualcomm would develop such a device, honestly it sounds complicated and very battery consuming.

Does anybody still watch TV anyway?
