Hulu is Prepping Video Streaming App for iPhone
This is the kind of stuff that makes me so happy to use the iPhone. The internet is all abuzz today after news broke out that Hulu, the extremely popular TV and movie streaming service, is getting an app ready for the iPhone.
By no means is this a guarantee that Apple will actually approve the app, but this is a very positive note for any iPhone user who wants to view full-length TV shows and/or movies from networks like NBC and Fox.
There is no way of telling if or when the app will make its way officially on the App Store, but we are all keeping our fingers crossed. Apps such as Hulu certainly can turn an already quite useful device into so much more.
Video streaming is already available in other apps, such as TV.com — owned by CBS — and Joost. But Hulu is creating a lot of buzz simply because of how much more content is accessible via Hulu, versus the other services out there. TV.com only does CBS shows, and only in chunks (they don’t stream the entire show), and Joost just doesn’t have a lot of premium content that most TV viewers watch on a regular basis.
Hulu will be able to stream video over both WiFi and 3G connections.
How will Hulu’s iPhone app affect you? If you don’t currently use an iPhone will it be enough to persuade you to get one? Or will it not make a difference at all? Sound off in the comments.
