Title: Rdio shutters Vdio service, as it should Post by: HCK on January 03, 2014, 02:00:17 pm Rdio shutters Vdio service, as it should
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Rdio is ending its brief foray into streaming video, shutting down Vdio after just eight months. </p> <p> Unlike <a href="http://www.techhive.com/tag/rdio/" target="new">Rdio's music service[/url], which is subscription-based, Vdio offered movies and TV shows for rental and purchase. The service launched in April exclusively for Rdio subscribers, before opening up to everyone in June. </p> <figure class="medium left">(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2013/12/vdioipad-100221682-medium.jpg) <figcaption> <p> Watching on the iPad </p> </figcaption></figure> <p> Compared to incumbents such as iTunes and Amazon, Vdio didn't have much to offer. It was only available through Web browsers and on the iPad, leaving out phones and set-top boxes. The interface was a bit clunky and the video selection was similar to that of other a la carte video services. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2082319/rdio-shutters-vdio-service-as-it-should.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Rdio shutters Vdio service, as it should (http://www.macworld.com/article/2082319/rdio-shutters-vdio-service-as-it-should.html#tk.rss_all) |
