Vudu, Inc. is a media technology company responsible for the development of the Vudu box, which is an interactive media device used to distribute full length movies to any television, using peer-to-peer TV technology.
Vudu was founded by Tony Miranz and Alain Rossmann (the creator of WAP). The Vudu box had been secretly in development since 2004, but on April 29, 2007, The New York Times revealed that Vudu had signed deals with many movie studios and independent distributors to deliver access to the nearly 5,000 films currently in the company's collection. Unlike most other movie download services, and like the Apple TV, Vudu does not require a computer or cable box, but only to have access to a broadband internet connection.
