Hulu is just a streaming service that currently streams shows on local channels and basic cable channels.  In other words, Hulu streams shows that are free to watch. Hulu’s Plus package allows you to watch shows on more devices. I’ve been asking myself for months; if Hulu starts to charge, am I willing to pay for their service.

Let me say that I use Hulu on a regular basis and have been a Hulu member since it was in invite-only mode. However, as much as I like it, I cannot say I would actually pay for their Hulu Plus plan.

Everything I watch on Hulu I can watch by going to each individual network website; with the exclusion of the show Being Erica, which is a canadian show. Everything else I can watch by going to the direct websites for ABC, ABC Family, TNT, SyFy, FX and USA. The Hulu plus plan allows you to watch Hulu on your iPod, iPhone and iPad. Well, I use an android, only listen to my iPod in the car and am most definitely not buying an iPad. Further, I know I won’t watch tv on a small device such as my phone, so I’d be paying for something I would never use.

I see they plan on allowing you to watch Hulu via other devices such as the Xbox, Playstation and other devices. That makes more sense for me. Maybe that would be the hook for me, but those services won’t be available until later. But to ensure I get my money’s worth, I’d have to compare that with the Slingbox service to see which one gives me the most bang for my buck.

If Hulu were streaming shows from HBO and/or Showtime and wanted to charge a premium fee
for that, I would probably go for that. But Hulu is charging for their existing service, I’d simply be paying for the convenience of not having to go to those multiple network websites to watch tv shows online.

So, will you pay for Hulu plus?

It’s been so long since I’ve blogged and I really missed it, but I feel refreshed and ready to get back on the blogging train. Today is a great day for one main reason………..I just upgraded from my G1 to the new MyTouch 3G Slide!!! I left the Blackberry world for Android June of 2009 and I haven’t looked it. The G1 and I spent some wonderful times together, but I have given it a run for its money. I could not go another day with the G1. I have killed it, overworked it, put it on the slave train – I had to bury it so it can finally rest in peace.

So now I have the MyTouch 3G Slide and I’m hoping this device can keep up with me. I waited a while to see what was coming on the T-Mobile line and I was hoping and praying it would be an Android with an actual keyboard and then came the MyTouch 3G Slide. I was honestly eyeballing the Droid Incredible and was almost prepared to buy it unlocked, but I am not ready to go exclusive with a screen based keyboard. I email and text way too much. I’m just not ready nor prepared to give up the speed and accuracy of typing on an actual keyboard. I know, call me an old foggie, but hey, a sista likes keys (hehe).

Out the box the MyTouch 3G Slide is shorter than my G1, but has a slightly bigger screen which is really nice. The phone also appears to be slimmer, but I think it’s actually the same width as my G1, but for some reason the way the MyTouch 3G Slide is designed makes it feel thinner (bazaar)… The phone came in some really nice packaging. I think all phones should come in a case like this one. The box is padded on the inside and securely holds the phone, charger and other components. It’s a nice touch.

Setting up the phone was easy as usual, but there are a few new things I noticed in the set up that pleased me. On set up it of course asked for your Gmail account, but it also asked for your Flickr (you know I love Flickr – check out my photostream), Facebook (can’t stay off of it) and Twitter. I use Flickr for ALL of my photos, so I was pleased to see this automatic integration.

Being as though I just set up the phone thirty minutes ago, I will give this phone a 7 day test run and blog about my experience with this MyTouch 3G Slide.I can wait to give it a good spin. I am already impressed with what I’ve seen thus far….

Stay tuned for Hello MyTouch 3G Slide Part Deux!
