And you thought HDTVs were made for watching TV. <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/VUDU/">VUDU</a> has today slung its (admittedly paltry) library of applications over to its television partners, making both Picasa and Flickr access possible through LG and Mitsubishi sets with integrated VUDU software. Of course, all of this was <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/27/vudu-rolls-out-youtube-flickr-picasa-and-games/">already available</a> to those relying on one of VUDU's dedicated set-top boxes, but it's always nice to have everything wrapped up neatly within the display itself. In related news, <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/03/16/pandora-coming-to-vudu-lan-streaming-too/">Pandora streaming</a> is also available on VUDU-infused <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/09/03/mitsubishi-now-shipping-vudu-powered-1080p-streaming-hdtvs/">Mitsubishi panels</a>, though for whatever reason, LG has "requested that only free TV and games be available on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/07/30/vudus-streaming-service-demoed-live-on-an-lg-tv/">their devices</a>." All bummers aside, the company has asserted that even more internet apps will be released to VUDU customers in the coming months, so make sure hold 'em to their word.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/hdtv/" rel="tag">HDTV</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/software/" rel="tag">Software</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/05/vudu-brings-pandora-picasa-and-flickr-to-connected-hdtv-promis/">VUDU brings Pandora, Picasa and Flickr to connected HDTVs, promises more apps soon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:00:00 EST.
