VUDU today unveils yet another great new feature to their interface, the integration of Wikipedia into VUDU.  When you land on a movie page, you can view all the information Wikipedia has to offer about that film – links to actors, directors (and anything else) are all active, so you can explore to your geeky content.  And film links actually can take you back into VUDU!

Their blog post says it all, so we won’t repeat it here.  But this is yet another reason why their implementation of a “streaming user interface” is so darn smart.  They can update VUDU with great new features like Wikipedia, Rotten Tomatoes, theatrical trailers and more, quickly and easily.  It doesn’t require a user download or a firmware upgrade – it’s very much like updating a web page.

A number of outlets have covered the news.  The list of coverage is below.

• Big Picture Big Sound
• Zatz Not Funny

• eHomeUpgrade
