As expected, Vudu introduced the 1TB model of their VOD set-top box to capitalize on their expanding High Def movie library. At the same time, they’ve also introduced a new firmware upgrade to existing customers. The most significant change in v1.3 is the capability to archive select movie titles. Archiving essentially means that movies are “backed-up” on the network and can be re-downloaded at anytime. This upgrade is designed to help customers free up more disk space on their Vudu boxes for additional downloads of newly released movies, hence, more business for Vudu!. Pretty savvy move I must admit!

About Wayne Lam
Wayne has 3 passions in his life: family, cycling and anything digital. As for the latter, he is specifically stoked about wireless technology. As a technologist, he worked for a leading mobile operating system firm to define the new class of smartphones and user interfaces. Having fought the standards battle with the likes of Microsoft, Wayne has now become much more agnostic about technology standards preferring to appreciating and commenting on the usefulness of mobile technology. So whether it be GSM or CDMA, UMTS or EV-DO, Wayne hopes to make sense of it all to mobile gadget lovers everywhere!
