Orb Adds blinkx

Orb TV and BR give customers access to media from a variety of places now like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon and now, Blinkx. This is a continuation of the screen convergence we've been seeing. More and more online content is being made available to the TV screen which means it is more easily discovered and viewed by those who don't want to use their PC screen to see it.

Here's some info on Orb TV and BR:

Orb TV ($99), a hockey puck-sized device that plugs into any TV, enables consumers to stream online video, photos and music to a TV. It is easy to set up and simply controlled through a smartphone app (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android, and Android Tablet), or using any computer.
