Vudu unveils video-streaming on iPad
Wal-Mart Stores Inc's Vudu has unveiled video-streaming service on Apple Inc's iPad, but it doesn't come with the type of app that's common on the best-selling tablet computer. Wal-Mart said iPad users can now go to vudu.com to buy or rent 20,000 movies and TV episodes to watch instantly. Once bought or rented, the videos can be viewed online or through more than 300 devices including Internet-capable HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc players and the Sony's PlayStation 3. Vudu icon can be put on the iPad home screen, but when users touch it, they will be taken to Vudu's website to buy content, Wal-Mart claimed.
Such services often come with an app that lets iPad users access content directly from the tablet's home screen. Apple introduced new terms and conditions recently that required publishers to give the company 30 percent of the price of any content they sell through apps.
