Hulu Plus debuts with lower $7.99 monthly rate
Hulu Plus was officially launched Wednesday with a new monthly price of $7.99. Subscribers who enrolled in Hulu Plus during its trial period at $9.99 per month will be given a credit for the difference that will be applied to their next billing cycle.
The company also announced that over the next week it will issue updates for its iPad, iPhone and iPod touch applications, which allow Hulu Plus subscribers to stream content to their Apple devices. The streaming service is also offering one free week trial for all new subscribers.
Hulu Plus launched in late June with a $9.99-per-month subscription price. It works on an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with Hulu's iOS application, and allows users to watch shows over both Wi-Fi and 3G.

I can watch tv over the air for free, or I can watch on my computer for free, or I can watch selected re-runs on my iPad for $8/month.
Tough call.
Hulu Plus has 720p content and PS3 and iOS apps. Even not counting the expanded library, $8/mo is worth it to me.
Google Docs... yawn
I don't think this article means to imply that I will be able to stream Hulu Plus to my AppleTV connected screen, but that would sure be cool if they would allow it.

Tough call.
Plus, with my TiVo I can watch any TIME I want. A couple of clicks on the remote and I have a "Season Pass" so I don't even have to remember to record the programs I want to watch. I can also watch recorded shows on my iPhone and iPad using Toast. Or pay $96 a year to get that for a limited sub-set of programs? As you say, tough call.
You get a free 1 week trial. If you sign up with your Chase credit card, you get a free month.
