AI, Mobile, and Eveything Around the Cloud

Hulu's developing an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This is according to Business Insider. This is more concrete than rumors because of what we're seeing being approved by Apple for the app store.

I'm tempted to say we're are going to get a slew of updates from Apple in March through October (usually the last month of updates from Apple) but in this economic condition, I don't know if that'll happen....
