Hulu won’t run on the BlackBerry PlayBook

As some of you folks who bought the BlackBerry PlayBook when it was released yesterday, got home and tried to fire up your favorite shows to watch on Hulu – you might have realized that it won’t work on your PlayBook. I mean after all, the tablet has strong native Flash support right?

Well, it looks like the PlayBook has been given the same treatment that Hulu shows almost all mobile devices: which means you won’t be able to enjoy Hulu on the QNX-tablet. However, a user in the comments box seems to have figured out a workaround – by mailing the video’s embed code to yourself in Gmail and then opening it from there you should be able to view your Hulu videos.

So if Hulu-incompatibility is a dealbreaker for you, I guess you should hold out at least until Hulu or RIM provides a proper workaround to this problem. Even Android users are still waiting for Hulu to arrive on their devices.
