Blinkx Expands to Portable Video

Blinkx on Monday unveiled blinx.tv To Go, a new service that will help users to search for online video content and then sync it to their iPod or personal video player. The service would automatically re-encode the video to play in the user's selected format.

Users would be able either save the video to their player with a single click, or save the search to a channel, which would then continuously update their player with new video. "Our vision of IPTV combines the interactive, customizable experience of the Internet, with the simple, seamless way we watch TV, and now we've made it portable," Blinkx founder Suranga Chandratillake said.
