Hulu Coming To iPad
The good news: Hulu’s coming to the iPad, giving people one more reason to buy one of the damn things. Access to every single episode of Lost on a beautiful screen while waiting at the airport? That’s a good thing.
The bad news: they may charge money for the app, which as we all know, is free over the internet. That’s according to All Things Digital’s Peter Kafka, who says he’s got this news from multiple sources within the organization.
Makes sense to me – Hulu’s not making any money right now; it’s kind of losing its shirt in fact. Those little fifteen second commercials they run between acts of your favorite television shows aren’t making the networks much money at all, so the idea of Hulu charging a premium for iPad access makes sense. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’d be the surest way for the service to make a little cash. If you’ve got the scratch for an iPad, surely you have the $5-$10 for an app that’ll allow you to access all of Babylon 5.
Still, I’m bracing myself for the nerdrage. “Boo! Give us everything we want, right now, for free or we’ll murder you!!”
