In a new collaboration with Samsung Mobile, blip.tv has created a new Android application for consumers who buy the new Samsung Galaxy S. The free app, exclusive to Samsung Galaxy S owners (for now), will feature top series hosted by blip.tv. Show categories on the app include featured episodes, drama, comedy, music, documentary, tech, music and app reviews.

If you are a fan of independent web production then this is a happy day for you.  Or if you are a web video producer and have never heard of Blip.tv definitely check them out.  One of the many great things that Blip.tv does for its web series producers is split all advertising revenue 50/50.  Now hows that for generous, and you don't need to sell your own ads.  Blip.tv does all the work for you and you just need to worry about driving views to your video.

Blip.tv hosts several shows produced with Internet users in mind. The new Android app highlights some of the most popular series and makes others available according to category.  Blip.tv will eventually launch for other devices (Sign-up here to be notified), but Galaxy S users can access the app now by visiting blip.tv/app

Below is an unboxing video we did of the Galaxy S on Blip.tv:

In this Pro-Panel discussion they go over latest trends in new media, tips for starting a new webseries, what to do when you have built an audience, the future of online media and much more.  The God father of new media, Tim Street, gives some amazing insight as well as foresight as to what he believes will come next for new media and how people will consume content.  Kevin Pollak talks about the creativity, passion and persistence one must have in order to succeed with a show on the web.  Amber J Lawson goes over all the steps one must take to partner and distribute your content with a company like Babelgum.

If you did not attend and are in the new media industry I highly recommend viewing this panel in its entirety.  It is packed with useful information that many can apply to their works in progress or even a finished product.
