Hulu coming to iPad, bringing $9.95 subscriptions with it?

9to5Mac believes Hulu is coming to the iPad (and Android), with testing to begin as soon as May 24. This comes on the heels of a LA Times article that reveals Hulu's plans to offer a $9.95/month subscription option, granting access to their back catalog of TV show.

Netflix and ABC.com are already in the iPad app store, and CBS.com and others are testing or offering HTML5 videos for the iPad over the web. So what's taking Hulu so long?
