Hulu has announced Hulu Plus support for the PlayStation 4, with the new streaming video app expected to be available alongside Sony’s console on Friday, November 13th. The company already has a PS3 app, but the PS4 version will boost artwork size and improve navigation, Hulu says, along with introducing dedicated pages for specific types […]

Hulu seems to be on a roll, having first introduced Hulu Plus on a slew of handheld consoles from Nintendo – namely the Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS, and here we are with word that Hulu Plus for Chromecase is now available on the iPhone. We do know that the Hulu Plus app has made an appearance on Chromecast with your Android phones/tablets and iPads in the past few weeks, and today, it is nice to see Chromecast integration thrown into Hulu Plus for those of you out there who are still rocking to your respective iPhones.

This integration of Hulu Plus with Chromecast will be able to convert your app into a custom remote, allowing you to control video on your Chromecast connected TVs, all the while enabling you to browse the Hulu Plus app straight from your iPhone. For those who are curious to find out, the Hulu Plus app can be downloaded on your iPhone from Apple Store. Anyone given it a go already, and how do you find it so far? It is better than the experience on an Android-powered device that you have used recently, or do you think that there is still room for improvement? Sound off in the comments! [Press Release]

Hulu Plus For Chromecast Now Live On iPhone original content from Ubergizmo.

Hulu, one of three big reasons why you should probably cut the cable soon, has today announced that it will provide access to its library of streamable TV shows and movies to Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, and Nintendo 2DS owners.

According to the official blog post, Hulu and Nintendo worked together to provide a solid experience across the various handheld gaming devices, one that “takes advantage of the systems’ dual screen option.

This means that users can be viewing Hulu content on the top screen while browsing through content options on the bottom screen. And where browsing is concerned, Hulu ensures that it’s the same user experience Huluers have grown accustomed to, with trays for each category of content including recommendations.

Moreover, Hulu users who have both the Nintendo 3DS and a Nintendo Wii or Wii U are in luck. Hulu has built out the 3DS app to automatically swap a show from the Wii to the Nintendo 3DS as you leave the house. Clever.

The Hulu app on 3DS also comes with a feature called Smart Play, which lets you instantly resume the last episode you were watching on any device from a single button.

Finally, Hulu has implemented a Kids Lock on the 3DS app that only lets users surf content from Hulu’s kid’s section, which is pretty important considering the demographic of Nintendo 3DS and 2DS users.

As with any new sign-up on Hulu, you’ll get a one-week free trial here.
