One upstart to keep an eye on is Vudu. The company promises - there is that word again - to offer 5,000 titles to watch directly on the TV without a PC, cable or satellite box. It says it has closed deals with seven major motion picture studios. The catch? Yet another appliance in your home. The Vudu device is expected to go on sale in this summer, but no price has been announced.
The range of movie download options keeps growing, and the promise is there. But for now, most people will keep watching DVDs - at least until tens of thousands of titles are available online.
