    Hulu Plus comes to Transformer Prime and 6 other Android tablets

    Hulu is still playing catch up to Netflix when it comes to device support, but today it’s gotten a bit closer. Hulu Plus has been available on select Android phones and tablets for a while, but it has been updated with a much nicer, optimized look for tablet screens. The new design resembles the look of the iPad app, with swipe-able lists of shows and episodes as well as access to your queue.

    These tablets now have the new Hulu Plus app:

    Asus Eee Pad Transformer PrimeAsus Eee Pad TransformerMotorola XoomMotorola Xyboard 10.1Toshiba ThriveAcer Iconia A500LG G-Slate

    Hulu Plus is also available on the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. Yet, the app is still pretty far behind. It doesn’t support the Acer A200 or A100, nor does it support any of the Samsung Galaxy Tabs or even the Motorola Xyboard 8.2. It’s also woefully behind in phone support. 

    Below are the phones supported by Hulu Plus:

    G2HTC RezoundHTC Evo 3DHTC Evo 4GHTC Incredible 2HTC SensationHTC ThunderboltHTC myTouchHTC Inspire 4GLG G2XLG RevolutionMotorola AtrixMotorola BionicMotorola Droid 3Motorola Droid 4Motorola Droid IIMotorola Droid XMotorola X2Nexus OneNexus S

    No Samsung devices appear to be supported on the phone side either. What’s the deal? Samsung and Hulu, you two need to get along. New devices like the Droid Razr are also missing.

    Hopefully Hulu will get itself up to speed or find a way to support all Android handsets without sacrificing its DRM. In the meantime, for those of you lucky enough to own a compatible tablet or handset, the new Hulu Plus app looks quite nice. Check it out. You can download Hulu Plus from the Google Play store

      Ultimately, many of the photos and cellphone records of Trayvon Martin released online Thursday by George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys – indicating that the slain teenager smoked marijuana, got into fights at school, and had an interest in, and perhaps access to, guns – may be ruled inadmissible in court. But they are already making the rounds in the court of public opinion, which can influence everything from fundraising efforts to the mind-set of potential jurors in Mr. Zimmerman's murder trial.
