Take that excitement, add hardware from Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Sharp, Toshiba, and <s>Vizio<\/s>, and multiply it by <i>hundreds<\/i> of services and you&#8217;ve got Vudu Apps.<\/p>\n<p>For months, Vudu has been steadily strengthening its stable of services, rolling out Wikipedia, Pandora, and Flickr applications to connected LG TVs (in addition to <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5325478\/hands-on-with-vudu-on-lg-1080p-like-now\">streaming 1080p movies<\/a>). Vudu Apps expands their reach in terms of services offered as well as hardware supported by offering hundreds of apps to connected TVs and Blu-ray players from a variety of new partners: the service will show up in HDTVs from Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Sharp, Toshiba and <s>Vizio<\/s>, as well as Blu-ray players from those last two companies.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve stated that connected devices, when fully realized, could put an end to the separate streaming-based boxes that clutter our AV stacks. This is a strong step in that direction. Though it&#8217;s unclear exactly how Vudu will manage all the new content, the screenshots suggest some sort of browser-based system. By officially partnering with Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Sharp, Toshiba, and <s>Vizio<\/s>, and bringing content from Twitter to New York Times to Entourage, Vudu Apps shows a lot of promise for multi-service, connected TVs and Blu-ray players in 2010.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u2022 VUDU Streaming Movie Service<br \/> \u2022 Pandora<br \/> \u2022 Flickr<br \/> \u2022 Picasa<br \/> \u2022 Facebook<br \/> \u2022 Twitter<br \/> \u2022 AP<br \/> \u2022 New York Times<br \/> \u2022 Dailymotion<br \/> \u2022 Stock Quotes<br \/> \u2022 Weather<br \/> \u2022 NBC Nightly News<br \/> \u2022 Meet the Press<br \/> \u2022 Today<br \/> \u2022 Countdown<br \/> \u2022 Rachel Maddow<br \/> \u2022 Morning Joe<br \/> \u2022 Zeitgeist<br \/> \u2022 Good Morning America<br \/> \u2022 Face the Nation<br \/> \u2022 White House Weekly Address<br \/> \u2022 Fast Draw<br \/> \u2022 Katie Couric&#8217;s Notebook<br \/> \u2022 Anderson Cooper 360 Daily<br \/> \u2022 CNN Daily<br \/> \u2022 Bill Moyers Journal<br \/> \u2022 In Case You Missed It<br \/> \u2022 Now in the News<br \/> \u2022 CNN Student News<br \/> \u2022 Journal Editorial Report<br \/> \u2022 FOX News Flash<br \/> \u2022 Washington Post | Photo Stories<br \/> \u2022 Washington Post | HD Podcast<br \/> \u2022 Slate V<br \/> \u2022 Around the Horn<br \/> \u2022 Mike &#038; Mike Moment<br \/> \u2022 The Basketball Jones<br \/> \u2022 MLS<br \/> \u2022 The Dish<br \/> \u2022 Racing One<br \/> \u2022 TGRtv Extreme HD<br \/> \u2022 Discovery Channel<br \/> \u2022 NOVA<br \/> \u2022 Nature<br \/> \u2022 NASA Jet Propulsion Lab<br \/> \u2022 Hidden Universe HD<br \/> \u2022 Ted Talks<br \/> \u2022 Walt Mossberg<br \/> \u2022 Andy Jordan&#8217;s Tech Diary<br \/> \u2022 USA Today &#8211; Talking Tech<br \/> \u2022 Hak5<br \/> \u2022 Pixel Perfect<br \/> \u2022 Systm<br \/> \u2022 Fresh Trax<br \/> \u2022 Philharmonia Orchestra<br \/> \u2022 XLR8R<br \/> \u2022 Best of VH1<br \/> \u2022 The Frustrated Rockstars<br \/> \u2022 UVTV<br \/> \u2022 Popcorn<br \/> \u2022 The Digg Reel<br \/> \u2022 The Screening Room<br \/> \u2022 Scene Stealers<br \/> \u2022 Indie Film Nation<br \/> \u2022 National Lampoon<br \/> \u2022 New Yorker Animated Cartoons<br \/> \u2022 iFanboy<br \/> \u2022 Scam School<br \/> \u2022 Sesame Street<br \/> \u2022 Stump the Chef (HD)<br \/> \u2022 Good Housekeeping: Whats for Dinner<br \/> \u2022 Delicious TV Veg<br \/> \u2022 City by City (HD)<br \/> \u2022 DiveFilm HD<br \/> \u2022 The Parent Code (HD)<br \/> \u2022 Rocketboom<br \/> \u2022 Diggnation HD<br \/> \u2022 Totally Rad Show<br \/> \u2022 Tekzilla<br \/> \u2022 Best of Revision3<br \/> \u2022 Sessler&#8217;s Soapbox Video Podcast<br \/> \u2022 Attack of the Show<br \/> \u2022 X-Play&#8217;s Daily Video Podcast<br \/> \u2022 X-Play Game Previews<br \/> \u2022 G4 Videogame Trailers<br \/> \u2022 Fresh Ink<br \/> \u2022 The Feed Daily Video Podcast<br \/> \u2022 Gadget Pr0n<br \/> \u2022 Around the Net<br \/> \u2022 Cheat!
