I think it's silly to suggest that Hulu should suddenly drop Flash completely and move wholesale to HTML5. It makes perfect sense for them to start doing test rollouts, though (like YouTube is doing), and the iPad/iPhone is an ideal proving ground for that kind of thing.
I'd note that not all that long ago, it was virtually inconceivable that RealPlayer wouldn't be the de facto standard for streaming web media for the foreseeable future. Technology marches on, and the roadside is littered with the mutilated bodies of once-ubiquitous quasi-standards.
