Talking at the National Association of Broadcasters convention, Hulu CEO Jason Kilar implied that NBC and News Corp.'s (mostly) slick video service could be moving to mobile phones, saying that they're "ripe for the Hulu experience." But, it might not look like the Hulu we know and almost love, since he mentioned that it "may not be identical" everywhere, but he thinks "anything connected to the internet would be a good fit for Hulu." Looks like healthy mobile TV might just materialize in the US. [MocoNews, Broadcasting & Cable]

Hulu [hearts] my iPhones????
How about they first concentrate on getting the service compatible with the myriad of network devices that can be connected to a tv (xbox, playstation, wii, etc.).
In the meantime, www.modernfeed.com does a great job of delivering streaming iphone video content.
@-AP-: Yeah, it's just not content most people would like to watch.
If they get hulu on the iphone... DO you think it would work with EDGE?
holy shit - hulu is now officially the one streaming video site that isn't blocked by my work - i started playing family guy just to see if it was REALLY true, then i heard the boss coming, and in a panic tried to close the window, but it persisted because i had multiple tabs open, and the "are you sure?" prompt came up. i BARELY made it.
so now everything is ok, and i fiddled with about:config to make sure that NEVER happens again.
whew!
*wipes sweat from forehead*
I <3 Hulu. I would <3 it even MORE if I could watch it outside the US. I was srsly in need of it when I traveled to India. Heroes withdrawl!
Mobile is awesome. I'm never gonna speak to anyone again between watching my fave shows & twittering
I've made a horrible mistake.
@nutbastard: that's pretty funny. Boss not a Family Guy fan, eh?
Hulu on mobile would be fine, but I agree that I'd rather have it on my Wii than my phone right now. While technically getting it on phones might broaden the market of potential users, getting it compatible with the latest consoles would broaden the actual audience much more, I imagine. Getting it working on computers might be a smart move too.. I tried watching some episodes of Arrested Development the other day and it was painfully glitchy.
@-AP-: Holy shit! Thanks dude, I appreciate that link....The problem with having so many website and applications out for iPhone is that it gets hard to weed thru all of them and pick out the most pimp. Thanks for bringing this to all our attention.
@mclark2112: Most definently won't work on EDGE (unless they are using the h.264 codec like Youtube does, in which case it will scale its quality and size down to a point where it easily streams on EDGE), but it will most definently work on Wifi and upcoming 3G.
@nutbastard: LMAO. Please tell me you opened Family Guy back up when your boss left. Family Guy is worth it.lol
@weatherman: no it's just against policy to be watching TV at work. I dont know if he digs family guy or not.
@TheSonOfKrypton:
nah i just wanted to see if it would actually stream (a likely story) not actually trying to slack off that hard.
Sweet. I still wish they'd come up with a podcasting-like platform though where you can subscribe to a show and it pushes the video out to your computer/device automatically (commercials and all is fine; that's the price for free I'm cool with that.)
an already get Hulu on my windows mobile phone running skyfire beta bitches!! NO WAITING 4 ME!@!!
I just want Hulu for Media Center. That would make me use it more. If I'm out and about then the 60Gb of music I carry is enough for me. I know I'm roughing it but I manage.
PLEASE FOX/NBC DOUCHES, PUT IT ON IPHONE?!
@-AP-:
PROPS
