Vudu Rolls Out Application Platform, Web-To-TV Content Streaming

IP-based set-top box maker Vudu announced today the rollout of Vudu RIA (Rich Internet Applications), a standards-based platform that allows developers to bring web-hosted applications to the HDTV. While RIA won't officially be opened to 3rd party developers until the first half of 2009, Vudu owners will immediately be able to access YouTube, Picasa, Flickr and an on-demand TV area with upwards of 120 channels. Users will also be able to access web-based television content from National Geographic, Nova and more.

The company says RIA is aimed at low-power set-top boxes and has an 300 MHz embedded processor with 128 MB RAM.
