Hulu, the second-most popular video streaming service after YouTube, has had an on-again, off-again view on mobile, and at the moment it’s back on.

At the DLD Conference in Munich, GigaOm interviewed Hulu CEO Jason Kilar, and while he didn’t say anything specific, it appears Hulu is interested in mobile. It’s been nearly a year since reports indicated that Hulu would soon release an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Those reports either seem to be incorrect or the NBC Universal (NYSE: GE) and News Corp (NYSE: NWS). joint venture has decided to shift its plans to the mobile web and multiple other platforms. Kilar: “The computer in your pocket is very important. Mobile is a monster – we are very bullish. We will embrace any device.”

While reports before indicated that Hulu may be more interested in the iPhone platform, now it sounds the company has a more comprehensive approach. In response to whether Hulu would support Apple’s iPad, Kilar told GigaOm: “We are very big believers in mobile and we don’t think about (just) one device only.”
