14 DAY TRIAL // About three weeks ago, some lucky Android users received access to a new video streaming service on their devices, namely Hulu Plus, now available for even more owners of devices that run under Google's mobile operating system. Initially, the Hulu Plus application that offered access to the said service landed on a number of only six select Android smartphones, but that changed with the latest release of the software.
Four new Android devices now have access to the service, the development team behind the application note.
“Today, we’re pleased to announce we’re adding four additional Android smartphones to our list of Hulu Plus-enabled devices, bringing the total to 10 supported devices,” Lonn Lee, sr. product manager, Hulu Mobile Applications, announced in a recent blog post.
“Hulu Plus is now available on HTC Evo 4G, HTC ThunderBolt, HTC myTouch 4G and G2 - joining the Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Inspire 4G, Motorola Droid II, Motorola Droid X, and the Motorola Atrix in Android Market.”
With this application, users will be able to watch Hulu Plus content while on the go, though it should be noted that the service comes with a subscription, although the application is available for free.
While only a small number of handsets can access the service at the moment, support for additional Android-based mobile phones should be included into the mix in the near future, the company announced.
“We’re extremely excited to offer Hulu Plus subscribers the opportunity to watch premium content on these smartphones when, how and where they want it,” the development team continues.
“As we said when we initially launched, we’ll continue to work hard to support additional devices. Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming months.”
Hulu Plus is not the only video streaming service available at the moment on Android, as Netflix also launched an Android application a while ago, also with support for a small number of handsets.
Owners of compatible devices will find the Hulu Plus application available in the Android Market here.
