I was stuck at the airport a couple of weeks ago waiting for a flight, surfing public wifi and watching youtube videos. Being able to watch a movie would have been very enjoyable.

[citation][nom]therealfly[/nom]I'm pretty sure I've seen NR stuff on Netflix. Will Apple ban this app because it can produce porn?[/citation]

There is NR stuff, I just watched one last month called Antichrist, which had tons of full frontal nudity, actually showed a penis penetrating a vagina, full male erections, etc etc. Very graphic. But, if they approved netflix for the ipad, they both share the same software library from the same appstore, so it only would only make sense to allow it on the iphone as well...

then again, making sense & apple is kinda an oxymoron. Go figure.

I could care less about streaming movies on my iPhone, but what would be nice is a reliable and easy way to manage my Netflix queue on my iPhone.

when i had an iphone i often watched standup comedy on youtube to pass time. I would use netflix for sure.

The screen is small, your not going to watch the rocky marathon but you certainly could watch a movie on a plane to burn a couple hours.

Um. Why does anyone watch real movies on an iPhone? I mean, for real. Companies keep selling their 'movie-capable hd thingamajigger' by showing it play movies.... besides short things on youtube, why the HELL would anyone use an iPhone or other tiny screen instead of a laptop with a 15-17in 1080p screen?

I'm guessing this will only be in the USA?

and @rogueex:L not everyone has a laptop with a 180p screen. if you think everyone constantly has access to a large screen then you should rethink that question.
its easy to be at work, the train station, a friends house etc and have nothing to do. if you have an ipod and acess to a net connection, why not watch a movie?
i think you'll find that most movies are just the same on a small screen or a large screen, provided you have a pair of headphones.

Have you actually tried it yet? Have you ever flown internationally on a plane that has built in tv screens in the seats? They are usually not much bigger than an iphone!

I used to be like you, and wrote off the idea as silly b/c of the screen size. Then I got an iphone and started watching TV shows on youtube while at work. Never once did I even notice how small the screen was. You get used to it real quick. Beats lugging around 20lbs of laptop gear. Cellphones are surprisingly capable media players.
