Home movies don’t make themselves. Until now.

Rumor has it that the video website hulu.com is developing an iPhone app that will be released within an couple of months.

Anyone who has tried to watch any of the streaming tv apps that are currently available on iPhone has probably been fairly disappointed with what they found but if the rumors are true then we will be able to watch multiple mainstream tv shows and movies from anywhere right on our iPod or iPhone.

Hulu has many popular shows like White Collar, Monk, Stargate, House, etc.

I will post an update as soon as the tumors are confirmed.

DS games on the DSi shouldn’t be much different, but Nintendo says compelling DSi-specific software is on the way. The company claims those titles will fully capture the functionality of the new handheld. I haven’t played any of those titles, so I can’t make a judgment on whether they will. Right now, the DSi, from a gaming perspective, is a new, more expensive, DS Lite.

Cameras
The DSi sports two low-resolution (0.3-megapixel) cameras. The quality was just fine for a handheld device that’s designed for gaming.

But you can also have fun outside of games. Once you snap a picture, you’re brought to an editing screen where you can change the color of the image and otherwise modify its look. The DSi doesn’t give you Photoshop-quality editing, but it’s good enough for a mobile device of this type. I was able to make the pictures look much better with the help of some simple editing tools, like the color utility, which converts the entire picture to black-and-white and lets you add color to certain areas in the image. It’s a great way to add some flair to a picture.

The DSi gives you the option to create distorted pictures. Whether you want to “swirl” the picture, create a mirror image, or produce a kaleidoscope, you can do it in just a few seconds. You can even choose where to “swirl” your image by running the stylus over the picture at the desired point. It’s a lot of fun.

DSi Sound
The DSi’s new feature, DSi Sound, which allows you to play AAC audio tracks on the device, is not all that great. While the sound quality is outstanding and it was nice to be able to play some music, the software doesn’t support MP3 files, which is a big disappointment. And the DSi’s voice-recording function only grabs 10-second clips, which certainly isn’t enough for those who want to keep audio notes. DSi Sound is a nice idea, but it’s not implemented as well as it could have been.

DSi Shop
Similar to the Wii Virtual Console, the DSi Shop allows you to buy games in the online DSiWare store. Those games (and other utilities like a Web browser) are available for a certain number of Nintendo Points, depending on the quality of the title.

Right now, the store has just a handful of games available. Most of the games are casual titles that you might never want to play. It does have Brain Age Express: Math available, though.

While it was disappointing to see just a few DSiWare titles, the service has promise. If Nintendo can add great handheld classics to the store, like any of the Zelda titles and most of the Mario games, the store will be a winner. But until then, it’s is not of much use.

Design
Personally, I think the DS Lite looks better than the DSi. But that doesn’t mean the DSi is ugly or that it’s not well-built. Quite the contrary, I was impressed with the DSi’s design.

Though the DSi isn’t winning the beauty contest, it makes up for it in size. Its screens are larger, but the device itself is thinner. It’s easier to slip into a pocket.

The DSi also has more refined interface elements. The outside camera is where it should be, at the top right of the top panel, and the L and R buttons are placed at the top of the bottom panel. You still have easy access to the stylus to the right of the bottom panel. The power button moved from the side (where it was on the DS Lite) to the inside of the device–much more convenient. The volume control is now two buttons, not the slider that the DS Lite had.

One thing that’s missing from the DSi, though, is the Game Boy Advance slot you’ll find at the bottom of the DS Lite. It was a controversial decision for Nintendo to remove that slot, but the company claims the DSi is a complement to the DS Lite, not a replacement, so it felt no need to have the DSi support GBA titles. I’m not so quick to agree. The DS (or DSi for that matter) is designed to tag along with you on trips. Since I have a variety of GBA titles, I’ll need to bring both to play my games. That stinks.
