Coffee break – EV-DO Rev. A and Hulu play nicely together

Coffee_manI don’t know why I haven’t tried this before but I finally got around to using Hulu with my EV-DO Rev. A modem on the UMPC. I realize that Hulu isn’t straming super high-quality media, but it’s more than good enough for watching content. What about on the run, though?

My concern was that the video would have hiccups over 3G, but I’ve scored a coup: I’m able to watch Firefly and I snagged a comfy chair at the Starbucks. I just might celebrate with a second cup of coffee, even though I haven’t done that since watching the movie "Airplane!"
