Wal-Mart owned VUDU will now let you stream movies to your iPad. Rather than a native application, the service will deliver its content via a web app. Users can point Mobile Safari to Vudu.com and browse the service's 20,000 movies. Because it uses a web interface, VUDU can only serve up SD quality content and cannot offer Disney films due to a licensing restriction.
Similar to Amazon's Kindle Cloud Reader, the VUDU app circumvents Apple's App Store to deliver its content to iOS devices. The web app currently works on the iPad and the iPhone, though the iPhone interface is not yet optimized for the smaller screen.
