Hulu coming to the iPhone?
Silicon Alley Reporter notes that, according to a well-connected industry executive, a native Hulu application for the iPhone is coming soon (within a few months) and is reported to support streaming content over wifi and 3G. The source was also cited as saying that the app is "badass."
Other video streaming applications for the iPhone (UStream, Joost and i.TV, to name a few) have met with, at best, mixed user reaction. Considering that Hulu is currently riding atop the throngs of sites offering mainstream television and film content online, expectations for this new offering will likely be quite high. Coupled with the recent rumblings regarding AT&T's supposed unwillingness to fully embrace this type of content delivery over its cell network, it's probably safe to say that Hulu on iPhone will be in the news again (and, perhaps, again) before the app sees the light of day.
We'll keep you posted if we catch wind of any new developments with this application, but for now, we'll play the waiting game.
