I think you would need the sony bravia internet link purchased separately in order to get the XBR8 to work with netflix

"The YouTube experience on the B8000 vs my Apple TV is like night and day. The Quality of streaming is about the same but the interface on the B8000 is a joke. it's slow and unresponsive. Just searching for a video takes too much time, Even loading the YouTube widget can take about 10 min. that's just unacceptable. I wonder if the BRAVIA experience will be similar.
On my bravia XBR9; youtube and now netflix are as smooth as butter. It's actually pretty fast in getting netflix through the menu's, just add it to your favorites, press the favorites remote key and netflix is good to go. I think something's got to be wrong with your Samsung, because 10 minutes is a joke for a youtube widget. Should be pretty much instantaneous.
Overall, using the queue feature at netflix online to send your choices to the TV is pretty slick. Just wish there was a way to figure out how to make some of the 4:3 content stretch, because the wide remote button that normally does this for everything else doesn't work with netflix.

HAVA media streamer for iPhone available now {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2009 3:57PM The N900's predecessor has a hava app on the N810, so it can't be all that difficult to create an app for the N900 especially in comparison to how long it took for Monsoon media to come up with an iphone app. I was running a hava player on the N810 a year and half before sling ever produced an app for the iphone.
Nokia N900 unboxed, and no, you can't unbox your own (yet) {Engadget}
Oct 12th 2009 4:40PM Have a N810 and the only thing I don't like about it is the processing power. The N900 is great, but I don't want to be locked into any carrier and at this point still find it $580 ( amazon ) a bit too much for an upgrade to the N810. I'll keep my eye on it though and hope the prices drop in the future. Want it, just can't afford it!
