Hulu Plus Beta Now Available on iTunes For iPhone and iPad

One of the most popular video platforms on the web for watching TV shows, Hulu, has just announced that it will be launching a new subscription service named “Hulu Plus.” The service will be available for the iPad and the iPhone and can be used over Wi-Fi or 3G, with the ability to stream 720P. Currently, Samsung Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players will be able to join in on the fun, whereas Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 are said to be supported in the future. Here is a quote from the announcement:

Watch every episode aired from the current season of top shows from ABC, NBC and FOX. Never miss an episode throughout the season.

Catch up on every episode of every season from many of TV's greatest shows. Over 120 seasons and 2,000 episodes of rich library content—that's thousands of hours of entertainment.

The app itself is actually Free on iTunes for the iPhone and for the iPad and it also offers a number of goodies. There is an obvious difference between the free version and the premium one. The premium service is said to have a subscription fee of $9.99 a month and it will grant suscribers access to popular TV shows such as 24, 30 Rock, Family Guy, House, and The Office. Hulu has a full list of content available here.

iPad; So Nice, it's Lickable - David Letterman [Video]

Looks like a lot of media networks have managed to snag the infamous iPad already. Rumor has it that Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, PC Mag, Stephen Fry and of course Stephen Colbert as we all saw in the 82nd Annual Academy Awards.

Common people with no "hookups" have already started to line up outside the Apple Store on 5th Avenue in New York City:

CBS Interested In 99 Cent Shows On iTunes

CBS CEO Leslie Moonves has flatly told the Financial Times that they "are certain shows that will be sold on Apple for 99 cents." There isn't much room to misinterpret what Moonves has said. Other networks aren't speaking on the record just yet but the Financial Times has reported that other companies have agreed to similar terms as well. Many companies are said to launch their shows at the lower price soon enough - coinciding with the launch of the iPad. Peter Kafka of All Things Digital claimed that sources have told him that the CBS is open to deal with Apple but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. What do you guys think of the whole ordeal? It seems like a good deal for us consumers considering we will be paying less for the same products but is there an ulterior motive behind this ? You never know, most companies do things that will prove to be profitable.
