LG Invision: AT&T’s Smallest, Cheapest Mobile TV Phone

A fairly quiet announcement, LG’s Invision is the third phone to support AT&T’s mobile TV service.

The Gadget: Samsung Access, the second (and cheaper) phone launching AT&T’s mobile TV service. https://gizmodo.com/behold-the-access-samsungs-first-mobile-tv-phone-wit-373200 The Price: $199 w/ 2-year contract.
