Hulu Plus update for Android adds higher quality playback for select devices
Want to "feel like you have bionic retina implants minus the deductible and waiting for its invention" while watching Hulu Plus on Android? Or whatever that means? (Seriously, that bizarro PR speak's in the official Hulu Plus changelog on Google Play) Well, now you can, as the streaming outfit's added a new 'HQ' setting for users of the HTC One, Droid DNA and Samsung Galaxy S 4. That's right, this new higher resolution streaming option is only available for a small subset of smartphones with a 1080p display. So, if you're an early adopter (and a subscriber!), pat yourself on the back because this one's for you... and your "bionic retina implants minus the deductible and waiting for its invention."
Hulu Plus comes to seven Android tabs with shiny new UI
First, lets get the short list out of the way. If you're not the proud owner of a Transformer Prime, Transformer, Xoom, XYBoard 10.1, Thrive, Iconia or G-Slate then chances are Hulu Plus coming to Honeycomb and ICS slates doesn't do you much good. (Hopefully Hulu will get the app ready for Samsung's bottomless well of tablets soon.) Then again, maybe this is one more reason to consider picking up the Google-powered devices. The newly tablet-friendly app comes with an appropriate redesign, including large tiles and show pages packed with info and options. Content is organized into individually scrollable horizontal "trays" that make navigating clips and shows simple, without a lot of jumping back and forth between separate menus and pages. There's even long press shortcuts -- simply tap and hold on a show's icon and the next episode will automatically play. To see it in action check out the quick video after the break, then head over to the Google Play store to download it yourself.
