Youtube was on board early. Netflix is readying an iPad > app, and Hulu's been working on one, too, reportedly. Netflix is already there. I installed it last night. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.
