A video search company VideoSurf will offer a visual search app on latest Verizon smartphones. The application which works like Shazam for video allows users to identify a video they’re watching. Just point your phone at the screen and VideoSurf will do its magic, identifying the episode, find it online and provide you with the ability to share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.
According to The Nielsen Company’s research note released in December 2010, more Americans are watching video on their mobile devices than ever before. On a year-to-year basis, the number of people watching mobile video increased more than 43% to nearly 22 million in Q2 2010, while the amount of time spent watching mobile video was up almost 7%.
Finally, to see VideoSurf in action, you can either visit their booth at CES or check out a short demo video below. And when you’re done watching, search for “videsurf” in the Android Market and take it from there.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
