Hulu may be in the process of developing an app for Apple's iPhone and iPod touch, according to a Business Insider report.
A plugged-in industry executive revealed that the app is coming within a few months and is "badass". It supposedly will work over both wi-fi and 3G.
It won't be the first Web video app for the iPhone -- CBS's TV.com app is on the market, as are Joost, i.TV and several others -- but it could be the best. Hulu's tech and design teams have demonstrated themselves as the best in the Web video industry, as everyone is now trying to emulate them. One hurdle, we assume: Because of Hulu's streaming architecture, it might not be possible to download videos to watch later, such as on the subway or an airplane.
The Business Insider notes that only 3% of mobile subscribers watch video on their phones; however, an iPhone Hulu app could possibly change that.
