Vudu box goes beyond movies, adds Pandora tunes

Vudu has remained determined to turn its set-top box into a platform to be envied. The company's latest move, still unofficial and mistakenly announced by Crave this morning, is the addition of Pandora internet radio to the Vudu box. The third-party application supports multiple Pandora accounts enabling family members to have their own Pandora playlists. Users can also create custom stations and change their account dynamically from the remote. The Pandora addition comes courtesy of Vudu's Rich Internet Application (RIA) platform which is expected to open to outside developers soon. This will enable anyone to add third-party apps to the Vudu box, turning it into an awesome repository of free internet content. Moreover, Vudu is expected to soon launch "Home Movies". The feature acts as a media extender, siphoning your PC-based media straight to your HDTV.
