Not really helpful for anyone running a device more than a year old.

I always wanted to try an iphone and went to the 4s last month, returned it with in three weeks for a Galaxy Nexus. It has it’s flaws just like everything else. There are no less limitations (many more actually), they’re just deferent types of limitations…3g (going from 4g LTE to 3g will make your brain smash up against your forehead), everything is blue, no text rap (???), your phone’s UI looks just like everyone in your office/school/playground…I’m glad to be back.

…but yeah, I had Hulu for a couple of days then suddenly it was “not supported”, Rosetta Stone’s Totale did the samething…

For what it’s worth…

I had an interesting conversation with the customer support rep when I called to cancel my service. According to him, the issue is legal, not technical: each device allowed to connect to Hulu must first be approved by EVERY Hulu content provider. There are over 200 providers, most of whom follow the lead of the the major players, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Viacom and the WB. He said that’s why they announce support for a few new devices in batches, every few months.

Based on this info it doesn’t sound to me as if Galaxy Nexus access is going to happen any time soon.

The rep killed my account for me and credited my credit card for the last month’s payment.

PS: It seems to me that I’ve read before that the NBC and the other providers who actually own Hulu have had second thoughts about the venture. I’m now wondering if they’re actively trying to kill it.

Yep, commercials even with fee based hulu plus. Boo. Kinda off topic though. ;)

It’s not the fault of Android, it’s Hulu’s fault. They’ve done this crap with tons of devices like the PS3.

I know what your saying. If I had one thing good to say about ios it’s the app store. Almost always will their be something better in the ios market than in Androids. I wish we had a better market, although it is getting better it just hasn’t caught up to ios. And the accessories thing is simply because their is only one I*hone released per year so of course their will be more accessories.

I started my free trial 6 days ago and was enjoying it on my GN. Lucky for me this didn’t happen 2 days from now or I might have been stuck with an $8 fee for something I couldn’t use.

I don’t get how it can work and then suddenly not be supported but oh well, seems like they’re only costing themselves money.
