Netflix may still be coming to the iPhone, “but not in the short term”
September 22, 2009 | Robert Nelson
Just to offer a little follow up on the previous Netflix and iPhone rumor, unfortunately the follow up is not all that good of new though.
The details are coming via Reuters, who are reporting that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has stated that;
it’s something that’s likely to come over time. But nothing in the short term. (With) movie watching, we are not focused on mobile yet, but (instead) on the TV, on Blu-ray and on the video game consoles. We will get to mobile eventually, including the iPhone.
Sad and disappointing, but at the same time it was not all that surprising. Of course, a Netflix app being released, while nice would have most likely only ended up angering many users due to the likely Wi-Fi only streaming limitation. That said, there are always apps like 3G Unrestrictor for those that jailbreak, so if you ask me — bring on the Netflix app.
