Netflix is now available on the iPhone and iPod Touch, as long as the device has iOS 3.13 or better. These devices now join the stable that offers Netflix instant streaming, including the PS3, Xbox 360, and iPad. The app is available for free, but requires a monthly subscription to Netflix. Users can stream video over 3G and Wi-Fi, though the experience on 3G will be dependent on signal strength. Users will only have the option to add to their instant view queue, and will only be able to add to the front or end of the queue. Queue re-ordering and DVD queue management are unavailable. The Netflix app will automatically pause the movie for any incoming calls or text messages, and will take you right back to the movie when finished.

So why would I want to watch Netflix on my iPod? And why not the iPad?

What about those without an iPad?

Signal strength isn't the only factor determining how fast a 3g connection is. How many other people are using the same tower and the quality of the providers infrastructure also play a part.
