Netflix Now Streaming On The iPhone and iPod Touch

Netflix's domination of Apple devices is now complete. This morning, Netflix released their streaming app for the iPhone and iPod Touch which joins the iPad and Apple computers that are now capable of streaming Netflix videos. I've downloaded the app for the iPod Touch and have watched a few clips and overall, the quality of the video looks pretty good. Some of the older movies are really letterboxed which wastes a lot of pixels on the iPod Touch screen, but with newer content you have the ability to fill the entire screen.

With Netflix saying they expect 100 different devices to have support for Netflix by the end of this year and for those devices to have an install base of 100M, Netflix continues to lead the market with their device penetration.

Josh, I asked Netflix for the technical specs on the encoding but they won't give them out. So I'll get them from someone else and then post them here when I do.
