LG Vu tracking for a late March release?

by Chris Ziegler, posted Feb 29th 2008 at 5:56PM

We knew there had to be a good explanation for the Vu's name starting to show up on AT&T's wares, and this just might be it. We're hearing rumblings that the device, one of AT&T's likely inaugural MediaFLO handsets, is apparently now set for a March 18 release into distribution channels with March 20 availability in stores. Of course, AT&T originally wanted this thing out at the beginning of this month, so we'll believe it when we're standing at the cash register with a box in our hands.

[Thanks, anonymous tipster]

Seen it.... nice idea but kinda cheap honestly... also to watch mediaflo (the streaming tv) you have to pull out an antenna... at least on the one that i played with.

They really did wait too long to release this. I am going to assume it's reasonably price--sub $300--making it an excellent iPhone alternative. However, due to it's being delayed seeming ad infinitum, I have found myself looking into the iPhone, it now seems more appealing.

How cares if the MediaFlo wasn't ready? Just do it like they did the 3G launch: launch the phones with the hardware and advertise its MediaFlo capabilities after the network's "turned on."
