The launch of Apple’s 3.0 firmware for the iphone has inticed developers to add and begin working on great new apps for the iphone. With just a few streaming apps in the appstore, Joost and CBS, it seems as if Apple may begin allowing applications to stream movies and television shows.
So, who’s next? Hopefully Hulu! If you haven’t heard of Hulu then you’re not from this planet! With the wide variety of shows they offer and pretty funny commercials to promote the website, it’s hard to have missed out on Hulu.
The website offers streaming of television shows, movies, and trailers. It had been rumored about a year ago that they were working on an application for the iphone but Hulu denied it. This year, it looks like this may be the case though.
OS 3.0 allows developers to add streaming into their apps so Hulu will be able to stream within the app and not force users to watch from safari.
There has been no definite release date of this app but when it is finally released, I will be one of the first people to download it. There has also been no word on the price of it but since the website allows for free streaming I’m guessing that the app will also be free and will be paid by advertisements within the stream.
