Talking to PCMag, a spokesman for RIM said:- “We are in conversations with Hulu to bring the Hulu Plus subscription service to BlackBerry PlayBook users.”
The Playbook is a 7-inch BlackBerry tablet that marks RIM’s entry into the tablet market, boasting a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, two high res cameras 3MP front and 5MP back and micro HDMI out. Impressive specs, but the reviews so far have been dire.
PlayBook owners had been enjoying Hulu access for several days after launch, until the block from free catch-up TV service Hulu. The move was not unexpected though as Hulu put the block on any non PC product.
Hulu only seem keen to supply the paid version Hulu Plus for cell phones, mobile devices, tablets and set-top boxes for $7.99/month. It was announced at the CES in January that Hulu Plus is coming to Android phones as well.
