"Hulu app could launch a player on the iPhone or iPad, if, of course, Apple allowed them to do so. If not, then a mobile site would have to be built in HTML5, video controls, overall UI, advertisements and all. That's no simple process."

I'm not really sure that writing a new Objective-C player is tremendously easier than writing an HTML 5 one. If it were, wouldn't they have already done this for the iPhone?

At least everyone would benefit from the option of getting rid of flash if they did write a seamless HTML 5 rendition.
