Netflix Streaming Comes to the iPhone and iPod Touch

This one is pretty easy — the Netflix blog announced today that an official Netflix app is finally available for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch devices. The app is free, but you’ll have to have at least the basic Netflix $8.99 per month membership to use it. The focus of the app is streaming films, not managing your queue. So David Lynch won’t be happy, and neither will anyone who is desperate to manage their queue while waiting for a coffee. (But there are other apps that do that quite well.) As one comment on the Netflix blog said, “I will never leave the bathroom at work now.” Which would probably be my approach if I worked an unpleasant office gig and could suddenly stream all my instant queue to my phone.

This comes a solid year after the last major rumor that Netflix would be streaming movies to the iPhone. Watch a little video about how the app works, after the break.

I stream netflix through my 360 and it's badass. The streaming movies and TV shows they have available all the time include a pretty awesome selection.

It would be sweet to watch some tv shows while taking a dump.

 

[Bru]

Exactly.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Could get weird though if I'm laughing while pooping.

 

[Yaj Yak]

can you hook it up to a tv easily and the quality is good? like can i use my gfs iphone to stream movies to my plasma?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Hmm that would be cool. Didn't even think of that.

I am sure you could but I doubt the quality is going to be great on a big screen.

So with the minimum subscription I can stream from my Iphone and ps3?

 

[EmersonHart13]

You can stream on 1 device per 1 disc subscription concurrently. So 3 discs three devices at the same time.

i could be using it on both ps3 or 360 but i dont want to pay money so netflix doesnt interest me, i can download most everything or just buy it when its cheap
