Akimbo is a wonderful innovative device that we had covered in several sites already. The problem for Akimbo was always how to get better content as networks have been surprisingly reluctant to join the system. Now Om Mailk reports that Akimbo is moving to open media, which is certainly a good idea for their strategy- I just have no idea if anybody wants to see it...

"Silicon Valley start up Akimbo has started to deliver video blogs on its video-on-demand TV service. Consumers can find Rocketboom, FreshWave.TV, Clint Sharp's Vlog, Steve Garfield's Video Blog and "The Carol and Steve Show," alongside programs from A&E, BBC, CNN, HGTV, cartoon network and others. Hey if the content from old media is hard to find, I guess it is good time to jump on the open media bandwagon."
