In its latest promotional stunt to sell more of its Android tablets, VIZIO announced today that its VIZIO Tablet owners are all entitled to three free months of a Hulu Plus subscription. Hulu Plus, one of the most popular video streaming services on the internet has a native Android app that comes preloaded on the VIZIO Tablet. This new promotion benefits both VIZIO and Hulu as consumers have an incentive to purchase the Android tablet, and Hulu gets the opportunity to convert a free viewer into a paying subscriber (for $7.99 a month).
