Dialing for 'CSI': VCast Mobile brings TV shows to phones

lombardix.jpg MediaFLO USA, a subsidiary of cellphone chipmaker Qualcomm, has quietly set up a broadcast TV network to bring prime-time shows to customers of Verizon Wireless' VCast service, and soon to Cingular customers. USA Today reports.

"Unlike prior mobile TV offerings, VCast Mobile TV is full of complete prime-time fare, including shows such as CBS' CSI, NCIS and Survivor, NBC's The Office and Heroes, Fox's House and late-night comedy shows from David Letterman, Jay Leno and Jon Stewart.

"Leave the big screen at home, and take your TV with you, anywhere you go," Lombardi says."
