Hulu?
You say that you were able to use Hulu, load and play video, ect.? I thougt Hulu said it was blocking mobile devices? And in your video demo, it never actually loads.
Could you please explain?
...
The browser has an option to view sites in pc mode which in turn tells hulu that it is not a mobile device, so you can watch all the video you want.

I know, but it is still possible to block... ie, flash 10.1 mobile itself has unique IDs itself, so if Hulu wanted they could set the site up so that it blocks 10.1 mobile based on that... this is the only way I, or any developer, can think they would be able to block all content from being viewed with flash 10.1 mobile, as they claim they will be doing.
But that is also very hard to get right, and could effect regular PC users, thus not likely to be done.
...
They are blocking the Android version of Flash itself. Adobe assigned it an ID key that is very specific, allowing them to block it without interfering with other Flash players on different environments.
