Hulu’s Super Bowl Pump Fake: Not Coming To An iPod Near You
Is Hulu coming to your iPhone? Or your iPod?
Maybe one day. But not anytime soon.
You could be forgiven for thinking otherwise, though, if you saw Hulu’s first-ever TV commercial, which aired during last night’s Superbowl.
The spot features a Alec Baldwin doing a Jack Donaghy-meets-"Men In Black" bit, and it’s quite good. But several literal-minded blognerds, like me, got caught up on one line - the one where Baldwin says Hulu lets you watch movies and TV shows on "portable computing devices".
Because in blognerd world, that could mean that Hulu intends to move the service beyond its current incarnation - which lets you stream clips for free to your PC - to something you could take with you - like Apple’s (AAPL) iPods or iPhones. Wouldn’t that be great?
