Last year the CEO of Netflix responded to the question of whether or not the iPhone and iPad would get Netflix. He stated it was an avenue they would consider but at that time wasn’t being focused on. Well maybe now is the time. According to HackingNetflix.com a survey has been presented to a few lucky subscribers of the movie streaming site. The survey says:
“Imagine that Netflix offers its subscribers the ability to instantly watch movies & TV episodes on their iPhone. The selection availability to instantly watch includes some new releases, lots of classics and TV episodes. There are no advertisements or trailers, and movies start in as little as 30 seconds. You can fast-forward, rewind, and pause or watch again. The movies & TV episodes you instantly watch are included in your Netflix membership for no additional fee.
Whenever you want to instantly watch content on your iPhone, your iPhone must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (such as one you might have at home or at work, or in public places like coffee shops, book stores, hotels, airports, etc.)
If this functionality were available, how likely would you or someone in your household be to instantly watch movies & TV episodes on your iPhone via a Wi-Fi network?
What is interesting to note is that Netflix used this same format to survey the interest of its users to determine whether or not streaming to the PS3 or Wii would be something they would like. And we all know how that turned out. I for one would love to watch my instant que on both the iPhone and upcoming iPad. The question is though will Apple allow it and would AT&T support it.
