The Flow is the most basic model and does not allow you to record due to no additional on board memory. So if you just want to stream movies and TV from the Internet to your mobile, this one is for you.

If you want to record thirty 90 minute movies and shows, then the Lava is what you want. It has 4GB flash memory on board.

The Blast will allow you to record four hundred 90 minute movies and shows because of the bundled 160GB external hard disk.
