One of the iPad’s flaws is the lack of Flash support. A popular video site like Hulu becomes worthless on the iPad because of the decision not to support Flash. A new reports suggests Hulu is now working on a way to bring its content to the iPad.
“One rumor I’ve heard from an industry insider is that Hulu is working on an iPad-friendly version of its site that should be ready by the time the iPad hits the market. Hulu itself is still vague about its plans. When asked directly by Om Malik whether Hulu has any plans for the iPad, CEO Jason Kilar recently hemmed and hawed about how he is a big believer in mobile, but wouldn’t confirm or deny anything.”
With YouTube on the iPhone and iPod touch (and soon the iPad as well), users already have a huge database of videos at their disposal. But when Hulu makes the transition to those devices, users will have an even larger database of videos to watch. It could also mean more people will buy the iPad.
The videos on Hulu are already encoded in the H.264 format used on the iPhone and iPad. So it’s not really a question if it’s possible, but when.
