How cool would it be to enjoy ‘Watch Instantly’ content from your Netflix’s queue directly from your iPhone, iPod Touch or Nintendo Wii? I think it’d be beyond awesome as I obviously have an iPhone, but a Wii as well! Multichannel News is reporting that a reliable industry executive has confirmed that Netflix is in the process of developing an iPhone app that’ll allow Netflix users to view ‘Watch Instantly’ content directly on these devices. I’ve been a Netflix member on an off for about 5 years and have enjoyed the service. I especially like the ‘Watch Instantly’ feature where I can watch content immediately without the need to wait on snail mail!
It’ll be interesting to see if this comes to fruition, but only time will tell. Multichannel News did point out how the ability to view content on your iPhone and iPod Touch would probably require a WiFi connection; as AT&T has been verbal in not allowing content streaming over their 3G network. I don’t blame them, as I don’t want my mobile service to suffer because someone is hell bent on watching WALL-E on their iPhone! As usual, I’ll keep you posted of the probability of a dedicated Netflix app becoming a reality. Until then, you’ll have to “watch instantly” from one of the other Netflix approved streaming devices… Ahhh, patience is a virtue!
