There are a lot of good reasons to jailbreak your iPhone, and a lot of bad ones as well. This is the most effective, and most dangerous way to get Hulu and any Flash based programs- or any unauthorized Apple program for that matter- on your iDevice. Please note that Apple does not take kindly to people messing with their stuff *cough Gizmodo*, so undertake these hacks at your own risk! Jailbreaking Your Device So we went through and compiled a few of the easier work arounds that should get Hulu up and running on your iDevice. There are a few ways to get Hulu (or an imitation of Hulu) on your iPhone or iPad, but many of them involve a crazy amount of expertise, a lot of hacking tools, and enough technical knowledge that if you could pull it off, you probably already have. So we decided to take matters into our own hands. There is always the possibility that Hulu will write a specific app using a different type of video compression, just as YouTube did for Apple, but the longer we wait, the more frustrating the wait becomes. The growing consternation between Apple and Adobe’s Flash, and Hulu’s recent announcement that it is not planning on changing its Flash based model in favor of HTML5, makes it more and more unlikely that we will see an official Hulu app on the iDevices anytime soon. Be warned though, they are not for the feint of heart. But fear not, there are ways to get Hulu, or something like it, on your iPhone. As it stands now, the only way to get a true version of Hulu on your iPhone or iPad, is to completely delete the OS and reload a different one, which kinda defeats the purpose. In other words, we’ll believe it when we not only see it, but have it, have taken it apart, and have confirmed that it works. Unfortunately it is the same headline from 2008 as it is from yesterday. Don’t believe it? Go to Google and do a search for an Hulu app on the iPhone. With Hulu often in the news today, and the demand for a Hulu app on the iPhone and iPad continuing to grow, there is still no end in sight. There is a new rumor floating around that there will soon be a Hulu app coming to the iPhone and iPad! Of course we have been hearing those same rumors for nearly two years now.

Hulu Desktop is a fantastic option for streaming movies and TV shows from your PC's desktop. The shows Hulu Desktop does have available encompass quite a wide variety and the video and sound quality are superb.
