Sadly no. Netflix is based on Silverlight from Microsoft, and it requires IE and i believe even Windows, to run the stream app. However, this should allow for Hulu to be streamed on the phone - unless this version of Flash is "on a diet" or something :)

Since I accept the fact that Netflix went uber-proprietary and I don't get my videos from there, I'm stoked for Hulu! dancedroid

I believe it will be a full Flash experience, with GPU acceleration and all. HOWEVER, Hulu seems to be IP blocked for VZW users (hence the fact that it will not play videos on either Flash Lite on the Incredible, nor Skyfire 2 beta) - it actually shows a "video" that says that the video cannot be displayed on the device. Again, it is an IP block, not a technical limitation of any of the existing methods of using Flash on the Android platform.

Not sure if this helps but I have my account set to "unrestricted IP" instead of "static". I can view hulu no problem. Takes forever to load though.

More. Confirmed: Flash Coming to Android Phones in June | News & Opinion | PCMag.com

How do you set your account to unrestricted ip?

I work for a VZW retailer. I changed it in eroes shopp. Edit, tried hulu again a little while ago and nada. They're on to us. That's really too bad. I wonder why they're doing that?

Very slightly OT here but thought the group would be interested.

I just signed up for the Beta as well and when I did they offered me access to an RC2 download of Flash 10.1 for the PC. I have a pretty high end PC with a quad CPU, lots of RAM, and a good video card but I've always had some stuttering playing HD Flash videos fullscreen. Not anymore! They look awesome now. Hulu in HD on my 1920 x 1200 monitor looks incredible. If you haven't already installed the plug-in I highly recommend it.

...sarcasm? I can see them trying to protect their bandwidth, but doesn't that fall under censorship or something?

its because one of the companies that supply the videos dont want mobile viewing it has nothing to do with hulu they like the idea of mobile viewing blame one of the video suppliers were on to you lol

Regardless of when the official version is released, its good to know they are actively working on it.

Man, I sure hope I get selected as a beta tester too!

YES! im so excited! :D btw would anyone mind telling me when i get to post my own topics???
