CES 2007: Akimbo Announcements and Visit

Granted we did not see anyone in black turtleneck’s announcing slick new phones, but we swung by the Akimbo Systems suite in the Hilton to check on the latest from the Video on Demand (VOD) content aggregator. Their two major announcements at CES included providing their VOD content to AT&T Homezone subscribers and being part of the USBTV initiative.

The coolest gadget we saw was the USBTV which was announced yesterday at the Sandisk press conference by Kate Purmal, Senior VP and GM.  USBTV is a new industry-wide initiative that should enable consumers to move digital content from their PCs to their televisions to view content on a big-screen and USBTV uses Akimbo for some VOD content.

The Geeks were impressed by the USBTV gadget and the content available through Akimbo Systems’ VOD content in general and further justifies the prediction that Internet video delivery and in-demand video services will be the wave of the future to purchase video content.  Do you agree?
