Netflix to Offer Streaming Video to iPhone?
Posted August 3, 2009 at 7:48pm by iClarified
Netflix may be working on an application to provide video streaming to the iPhone, according to MultiChannel.com.
The company will soon offer the Watch Instantly video-streaming feature on Apple iPhones and iPod Touch devices and the Nintendo Wii gaming console, according to an industry executive familiar with Netflixs plans. (Netflix wouldnt confirm the info, with a rep saying it declines to comment on rumors or speculation.)
MultiChannel notes that Netflix already provides content on: PCs, Macs, Microsofts Xbox 360, TiVo DVRs, Internet-connected Blu-ray players from LG Electronics and Samsung, the Roku set-top, and TVs from Sony and LG.
Whether or not a Netflix app would be approved is debatable. Apple could refuse the app because it 'duplicates' iPhone functionality and AT&T would likely object to the app on its 3G network. That being said the increased pressure by the media and the FCC on fair App Store practices might make now a good time to submit the application for approval.
