Hulu Desktop

Answering in its own way to the likes of Boxee and others who want some alternative way to view Hulu on their computers, Hulu has announced the availability of Hulu Desktop. Sporting a super clean UI and support for using the Apple Remote, this free download is a must have for anybody who frequents Hulu often.

The app is built on the Flash platform, so the system requirements weigh in pretty moderate, requiring at least an Intel Core Duo 2.GHz Mac with 2.0GB of RAM. Currently available as a beta, this application provides you quick and easy access to your Hulu queue, as well as the ability to browse Hulu?s entire lineup of TV shows and movies all from within the application.

The UI of the application is fairly snappy and easy to navigate, putting tons of content, your queue, suggestions, and search at your fingertips. The experience alone is very refined for an application that is still in beta.

Hulu Desktop is a free download from Hulu Labs.
