im just wondering if anyone's tried using Hulu on their PPC?
right now, my phone is taking forever to load the website.

works ok, wouldn't use it a ton. Drops frames and sometimes the sound doesn't match up to the video, but if you're stuck somewhere and don't have anything to do, its a lifesaver.

Able to see it via Skyfire only for now.

You need to download Skyfire web browser. Here's the link.

It's a web browser for video sites so they think you're on a regular pc instead of a ppc. Works great.

Hope this helps

I completely agree, someone should create a Hulu Player...

Until the content providers come and tell hulu to block their content to the mobile player, just like they did to Boxee.

Eventually the content providers will yield when they finally realize that standalone player and a webbased player are the same thing... they both show the commercials.

it's not the content providers who will be making the most noise - it's the cable companies.

Because Hulu isn't just streaming flash like youtube. They have ways of keeping it locked down to what they want. This is why you can't watch Hulu on anything but a PC. Doesn't work on the "all powerful" PS3 either.

I also agree
