SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced that Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a global leader in mobile technology, has selected blinkx for inclusion on its first tablet device, the GALAXY Tab, powered by the Android Operating System 2.2.

Under the terms of the agreement, blinkx's video app will be promoted through SamsungApps on Samsung's revolutionary GALAXY Tab.

"The GALAXY Tab's 7-inch display, combined with support for Flash and the same top notch graphics card available in Samsung GALAXY S, will deliver an amazing mobile video experience. It's sleek and powerful, and enables consumers to maximize their online experience, wherever that may be."
