Netflix app for iPad shows up in App store. Need for cable TV continues to dwindle.
And here I thought the Netflix app for the iPad was part of the whole iPad April Fools jokes floating around the internets but aparently it’s for real. The app is showing up in the app store now (opens iTunes) and will allow current or new Netflix subscribers to stream unlimited to their iPad and resume watching where they left off on their computer or TV.
With all the TV shows and back catalog of movies available from Netflix’s streaming service, I’m hard pressed to come up with reasons to pay a pricey cable bill each month. I’m curious how Netflix is streaming to the iPad since most of the other implementations of the service (PS3, Xbox, PC, etc.) use Microsoft’s Silverlight technology. Is it possible to do via Apple’s H.264 Quicktime setup?
