DRM = you watching shows online for free.

I'm sure they'll happily adopt HTML5 if you're willing to pony up some cash. Wait, you don't have a job? You get all of your games and movies from BitTorrent? Oh, right.

That link doesn't mean anything. So somewhere down deep Hulu has an Android app that may never see the light of day. Big deal. It also says, "There is a slight mention of an iPhone app as well," but we know that's not happening any time soon. The point is that Hulu's official position on mobile devices currently is no-go, Flash or no Flash.]]>May 13th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/hulu-says-html5-doesn-t-yet-meet-all-of-our-customers-needs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/hulu-says-html5-doesn-t-yet-meet-all-of-our-customers-needs/TL;DR.]]>May 13th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/hulu-says-html5-doesn-t-yet-meet-all-of-our-customers-needs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/hulu-says-html5-doesn-t-yet-meet-all-of-our-customers-needs/

Skyfire has the option to be viewed as either a PC or android phone depending on what you want.

DRM is not as much of a concern I think bacause there are ways to mask and not allow access to file locations.. The biggest concern is that the video api doesn't allow streaming video!

For those less tech savvy, the flash wrapper allows the same videos to be streamed.. This is flash's biggest advantage.

"Meeting our customer's needs" is Hulu's nice way to say "We can't put this content out there without DRM, and HTML5 doesn't have that yet!"

Nothing to do with who can afford what (maybe you can't, I don't know, not judging you), or who is trying to pirate stuff (maybe you do that too, I don't know, again, not judging you), but you guys are sort of talking about the same thing.]]>May 13th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/hulu-says-html5-doesn-t-yet-meet-all-of-our-customers-needs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/hulu-says-html5-doesn-t-yet-meet-all-of-our-customers-needs/
so it all comes down to whether Hulu can effectively monetize and protect the streams for their customers (being the studios and networks) using a native iphone/ipad. and with 1 million and growing users to hit, you can bet they are working on the issue. ]]>May 13th 2010 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/hulu-says-html5-doesn-t-yet-meet-all-of-our-customers-needs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/hulu-says-html5-doesn-t-yet-meet-all-of-our-customers-needs/
BZZZT wrong. All Hulu has to do is make an app. Native app > HTML.

Hulu is going to use a mobile app to support Apple devices. It'll cost money, but that's the price of "thinking different."

Hulu should use whatever it wants on its own web site or video platform. It's nobody's business but Hulu for whatever reasons they claim. Though I'm sure they're getting kickbacks from Adobe. Ssshhh.
