According to Macrumors, the popular website Hulu.com could announce tomorrow a new version of its site now compatible with Apple iPod Touch and iPhone. This announcement could be made simultaneously with Apple which could be involved in promoting the site. Technically, this should not be a big issue as all videos available from Hulu.com are already encoded in H.264. Politically, it might be a bit different, as Hulu.com was born from NBC’s wish to become independent of the iTunes Store to offer an online shop for videos and shows. So, one can imagine that NBC could get support from Cupertino only if the TV channel accept to bring back its catalog on the iTunes Store. Both parties would win, and Apple could even use such dual offer as a proof for not building an iPod/iTS ecosystem for video as some analysts claimed it. [translation by Linathael]
