Coincidentally ,all phones are made by HTC. And they are:

• HTC EVO 4G
• HTC Thunderbolt
• T-Mobile’s myTouch 4G
• T-Mobile’s G2

These four phones join the other six previously supported ones, bringing the total number of compatible phones to 10. If you’re the proud owner of one of these phones, you can head to the Android Market right now and download the Hulu app. However, you’ll need a Hulu Plus subscription to use it. But worry not, you can still sign up for a free one-week trial, or for a month if you use an .edu email address. If you do decide to join Hulu Plus, here’s everything you’ll be able to do with the Android app:

• Watch all TV episodes available from Hulu
• Watch full series runs or back seasons of classic shows like The X-Files, Arrested Development, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Law and Order
• Search and browse for shows and videos and manage your queue directly from your supported Android device
• Watch movies from Miramax and the Criterion Collection, including Pulp Fiction, The English Patient, Breathless, Modern Times and hundreds more
• Resume play from where you left off on other Hulu Plus devices, including your computer and select mobile phones, tablets, internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players
• Watch over WiFi, 3G and 4G

Do we have any Hulu Plus users here who are still waiting for Hulu to add support for their phones? What about those of you who have a supported phone? Do you use Hulu on your phone a lot? Or is it one of those things you’ve always wanted but once you have it you don’t use? Let us know in the comments below.

• Nexus One
• Nexus S
• HTC Inspire 4G
• Motorola Droid II
• Motorola Droid X
• Motorola Atrix

If you don’t have one of these devices, hang in there. Hulu said they “expect to add to the number of Android smartphones and will be making additional device announcements throughout the year.”

The app itself is everything you could ever want from a Hulu app. The company didn’t cut any corners for its Android app, and it shows. It comes with all the following features:

• Watch all TV episodes available from Hulu
• Watch full series runs or back seasons of classic shows like The X-Files, Arrested Development, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Law and Order
• Search and browse for shows and videos and manage your queue directly from your supported Android device
• Watch movies from Miramax and the Criterion Collection, including Pulp Fiction, The English Patient, Breathless, Modern Times and hundreds more
• Resume play from where you left off on other Hulu Plus devices, including your computer and select mobile phones, tablets, internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players
• Watch over WiFi, 3G and 4G

That last feature might be the most important of all. It’s good to see Hulu didn’t choose to make its app WiFi-only. Although I’m sure some carriers aren’t going to like that very much. For those of you on a tiered data plan, you might want to think twice before watching a full season of Arrested Development using your carrier’s wireless network.

If you have one of the devices I mentioned above and use Hulu on a daily basis, you can download the Hulu app right here. Then, come back and tell us everything about it. Do you like it or not? Is it worth 8 bucks a month? How’s the streaming quality? And most importantly, would you move to an unlimited wireless network (Sprint) to be able to consume as much data as you want?

As someone who doesn’t own one of these devices, I truly feel your pain if you’re being left out of some movie-streaming goodness. The app has the kind of features you’d expect from a Netflix app, like:

• Watch as often as you want.
• Resume watching where you left off on your TV or computer.
• Browse movies and manage your instant Queue right from your phone.

If you do have one of the aforementioned phones, you can go ahead and get the app from the Market. After that, come back here and tell us how we should have gotten an HTC phone.

UPDATE: Knowing that many people won’t be able to install this app, Netflix wants you to know that they’re working on it. The company said:

We are aggressively qualifying phones and look forward to expanding the list of phones on which the Netflix app will be supported. We anticipate that many of these technical challenges will be resolved in the coming months and that we will be able to provide a Netflix application that will work on a large majority of Android phones.Roma Defrom the product team at Netflix

Netflix Netflix, Inc. MARKET QR POWERED BY APPAWARE

No firm release date for the Hulu application was given. We will keep you updated once we get more launch details.

Netflix was the first to be outed two weeks ago, by their job search for an “Android Video Playback Expert.” Their release timeline is unknown, but one would hope that with said expert in tow they could get an app out there in the next 5-7 months and ideally they could incorporate it with our next player in the streaming game.

Boxee’s CEO, Avner Ronen, confirmed last week that an Android app is in the works, but if they want to be first to market they need to get moving as Dell’s leaked device roadmap has brought to light that serious competition is on its way before years end.

AT&T’s U-verse TV will be bringing some kind of service to you through the Looking Glass by November. Details basically couldn’t get lighter at the moment, but the screenshots of the device display an episode browser with a “U-verse” button prominently displayed along the top with “Home,” “Movies,” and “Shows.”

Hulu also had their intentions outed by the Dell leak as as one of the slides on the strikingly good looking Dell Thunder displays the Hulu logo and specifically states that you can “grab the latest shows from the integrated web video Hulu app.” The persistent rumors regarding Hulu going paid have ramped up again with the news that they are eying a $9.95/month subscription which would grant access to some older content than what is presently available; whether this app would carry any kind of fees along with it remains a mystery at the moment.

I haven’t seen this speculation hit elsewhere yet, but I think the screenshot that is being displayed on the Looking Glass is the Hulu app. If you check out the shows that are listed on there they include several long since canceled perennial Hulu favorites including; Firefly, Dead Like Me, and Arrested Development. Yes, I know that The Colbert Report isn’t on Hulu anymore, but chances are this slide was created before that was a reality. So non-AT&T users soak that screenshot in as you will likely be looking at the same thing just subtracting out the little “U-verse” button on the end.

With larger screen Android phones and tablets dropping fast and furious in the second half of the year it only makes sense that video services will pick up their game to meet what will certainly be a rising demand to watch content on these gorgeous new screens. It could be argued that the upcoming addition of Flash 10.1 to many Android devices will render some of these apps unnecessary, but the reality is that an application is almost certainly going to deliver a far better experience.

Other than the sheer coolness of having so much content available on demand, I think what I look forward to most is being able to basically cut the cord between my phone and my computer completely. The need to sync video over to my phone is one of the few remaining reasons that I ever have to break out the USB cable.

So which of the forthcoming services are you looking forward to the most? If your favorite hasn’t outed their Android intentions yet or isn’t listed here go ahead and give them a shout-out in comments.

I’ve had the chance to test it out and let’s just say the “beta” label if very fitting. Coincidentally, KISS will be hosting a live concert on Ustream tonight at 7 PM PST. I’m not exactly a huge KISS fan, but it is an interesting concept to broadcast live concerts directly to your pocket. It should be interesting if they can pull it off, but expect bugs (and frustration) when using the Android client.
