The service will launch with thousands of movies from seven major studios as well as indie distributors, connects directly to your TV and does not require a PC or a cable box. The company, Vudu, Inc., has been quietly engineering the technology and striking deals with content owners for the past two years (under the codename Marquee). It’s run by some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley.
I admit that I am intrigued. The system has a nice sleek design and packs a lot into it’s small frame, like the Apple TV. It will be the online capabilities that will make or break it though. We won’t find out more about that until later this year.
