AT&T rolls out its Mobile TV in parts of Florida
AT&T Mobility is rolling out its Mobile TV service on Sunday for the first time in Florida.
Unfortunately, it won’t be in South Florida. Rather, the company is launching in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and Gainesville/Ocala. But it can’t be too far off that we’ll see it here.
The service offers 24-hour access to television programming from CBS, ESPN, Fox, NBC, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, CNN and PIX, a Sony Pictures TV unit that offers films from the studio’s library.
The cost starts at $13 a month for a basic version. Its “Plus” version includes unlimited mobile TV programming and unlimited mobile Web browsing.
Has anybody heard anything about the quality of the picture? AT&T introduced a couple of new phones, the LG Vu and Samsung’s Access, that ares supposed to give a clearer picture because of their large screens.

Dell releases its latest top-end gaming machine
Dell’s latest desktop wasn’t inspired by its environmental group. It didn’t come from the folks peddling those pretty pink laptops.
The new XPS 730 comes from that caffeine-amped, Crysis-addicted crew hanging out on the fringes of Dell’s leading edge, and it goes on sale today.
To update its premier performance desktop, Dell added more computing- and graphics-processing power. The XPS 730 will support over-clocked and quad-core processors, and will carry and/or support some of the latest graphics engines. (For more specs, go here.)
The company also said it has tweaked its optional liquid-cooling system to pull more heat away from the new chipsets. It also retooled the cooling system’s pumps and fans to scale back when the PC is idling.
The air-cooled XPS 730 comes in silver and starts at $4,000. The liquid-cooled XPS 730 H2C comes in “victory red” or “stealth blue” and starts at $5,000. All models can be ordered with the X-shaped window into the guts of the PC.
