If someone has an iPad but not a console that streams netflix, or a media pc already connected to their computer, then what is so bad about buying a dongle?

Would you suggest they spend 20x as much on a console instead?]]>May 19th 2010 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/

Your comment regarding not being able to add movies to your queue will no longer apply to the Roku after the June update.

Also, I believe the Xbox 360 has been able to browse and add movies to the queue for quite some time now.]]>May 20th 2010 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 20th 2010 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/

Yes, because iPad is a dedicated Netflix set-top device and does nothing else.

You have to ask?

In a nutshell...its jealously.

Jealously that that for all their shit talking the iPad is still a great success for Apple and that people don't give a crap about the lack of flash or multitasking (which will change with iPhone OS 4.0).

They're just mad that no amount of android tablets will sway peoples opinions.]]>May 19th 2010 9:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 20th 2010 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/
Besides that, I really want offline mode more than anything. The iPad is almost useless without an internet connection. It would be nice to be able to queue up a movie to view just before going on a flight. ]]>May 19th 2010 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/I agree with you. An actual app would have been nice. But this is better then nothing. I'm not sure if we will see an app though. As HTML5 takes off it will replace the need for apps.

Also I don't think we will ever see caching with Netflix. The movie studios are just coming around to steaming. To try to explain that you want your customers to be able to download their IP and store it for use at some time in the future would send them into fits. Just look at the restrictions for steaming movie rentals. Yeah, you can cache them, but you only have a certain number of days when you have to start watching it or the movie just won't work. And the big thing is you have to have a way to authorize the movie before you can start watching it.

Which brings up a question. If you rent from iTunes. Download your rental to your "iDevice". Does it keep track of your DRM info or does it expect to authorize it when you attempt to play it.
I think I'll need to experiment a bit with that. ]]>May 20th 2010 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/Woah there Captain! HTML5 is missing a lot of features in order to replace apps. Heck, HTML5 can't even properly replace Flash - which is one reason there is so much debate around it.

HTML5 is a very welcome advancement in the HTML spec, which is slow moving and sadly aged. But there is no way it is going to offset the power of what Flash, Silverlight, Java, and native apps will do on a computing device.

Case in point, Netflix will never touch HTML5 for video delivery right now because it lacks any sort of DRM tools that the studios require to have a feeling of protection on their movies.

HTML5 is not even close to being an answer for rich-media developers. It will offer a few long-needed features for web developers though. ]]>May 20th 2010 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/

I have no doubt netflix had plans to have video out for the app from the start and that people bitching about it had nothing to do with them finally adding it. I think it was a matter of they did update after update..added feature after feature and this one happened to be the one they got around to adding the video out capabilities. It takes time to write code..to test it over and over..to wrinkle out the big bugs..just be patient. ]]>May 19th 2010 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/netflix-ipad-app-updated-to-support-video-out-to-tvs-and-monitor/May 19th 2010 10:10PM
