Hulu For The iPhone? Yes, Please. But Don’t Get Your Hopes Up Just Yet.

Ask people what their favorite website is, and increasingly you'll hear Hulu (at least in the US). The NBC and Fox-backed online video service just kicks ass when it comes to content, interface and overall execution. And now it's apparently going to attempt to translate that into a kickass iPhone app, according to Business Insider . Sure, there are other iPhone apps that offer video streaming such as Joost , i.TV and TV.com , but none come close to Hulu in terms of content and pubic appeal so far. But the most interesting part may be that the Hulu app would apparently work over 3G connections, as well as WiFi. The current crop of video streaming apps are mostly confined to WiFi usage -- no doubt at least in part because AT&T doesn't want streaming video clogging the pipes.
