Blu-ray tech advance integrates iPhone, iPod touch

You will soon be able to use your iPhone or iPod Touch to control and do much more with your Blu-ray player. NetBlender will release a new technology this week, on April 10th, that links Blu-ray content to Apple devices like the iPhone and iPod Touch. They call this new technology BD Touch, and it will use the iPhone’s network capabilities to control your Blu-ray player.

“The sophisticated user interface of the iPhone enables greater user interaction as well as the power to leverage the iPhone’s existing network. Search, e-commerce and advertising possibilities related to movie content abound when one imagines real-time communication between the iPhone and the content currently being displayed on a Blu-ray player,”

A number of other features will be supported by BD Touch, too. Including automatically updating film collections on your iPhone, and your Blu-ray player sending a digital copy of a video to your iPhone.
