The ABC and CBS television stations will allow iPad owners to stream free online content on their devices. The catch is that there will be commercials interspersed within the programming, so for those of you out there that can’t stand commercials, be forewarned. ABC will allow free streaming through an app from Apple’s App Store while CBS will offer “free” programming through a browser-based method, i.e. their website.
Hulu hasn’t yet confirmed their stance on streaming free content on Apple’s iPad. According to Jason Kilar, their Chief Executive, the company is “certainly open to subscriptions as a complement to an ad-supported model.” Hulu has been rumored to be considering a subscription model quite a bit.
As consumers of online content yourselves, what do you have to say about this? Any comments?

Indiagames, one of India’s most popular online gaming platforms, will soon be launching Cricket T20 Fever as a new game application for the iPhone. Featuring the sport of cricket, which is really popular in India, this new game will aim to realistically simulate playing the sport.
Cricket T20 Fever will first be launched as a sports game application for the iPhone before it’s launched as a browser-based online sports game. Within a few months, Indiagames also hopes to be able to launch Fever on other platforms and gaming consoles such as Symbian, Playstation, and Xbox.
Indiagames’ newest game may not be as popular in the United States as there’s not a huge cricket fanbase, but it is popular in other countries. The company has previously released mobile cricket-based apps, such as Cricket T20 World Championship, and will be releasing a free standard version of their new game in the App Store, along with a premium version that players must pay for.

CTXM, a European-based software developer for online games, has recently added three iPhone-based casino games (Blackjack, Roulette, and Casino Hold ‘Em) to its already existing mobile browser-based games lineup, which includes Video Slots. These new CTXM games are accessible through the iPhone’s Safari browser. 
According to Udy Yosha, CEO of CTXM, “The iPhone is the first mobile platform which shows real scalable commerce. We see the conventional internet range merging with mobile gaming through platforms such as the iPhone and believe there is a great potential for gaming in this area.”
Currently, CTXM has created 10 game applications for the iPhone, which are available through Apple’s App Store. Within CTXM’s new Safari-based casino games, players are able to play both for real money as well as for gaming account management.
