Skyfire now works with Hulu (atleast for now)

The only reason they exist is because the networks allow them. What the networks say goes. They don't want their content to be streamed so portably.
 
So when Android gets flash is hulu going to block it?

I'm guessing yes.


My Guess is that hulu blocks skyfire as it will not allow users to click on advertisements or even allow for fast forwarding past them. This seems like it would not be the case when our phones have full flash as I would assume adds would show up, no fast forwarding could be done, and they would be navigable.


****warning****
This is a completely uneducated guess and probably contains faulty logic/premise
 
If you are watching Hulu on wifi in the U.S. with the coming Android app it should be no problem. The problem comes with proxy servers in that Hulu cannot determine where you are watching from. They have agreements with the networks to allow only U.S. viewing.
 
For the trekies out there, skyfire works with watchtrek.com to a degree. Since it has iFrame type listings, you can't scroll inside the web page.
