It’s nothing new that physical media is dying out, Apple has been trying to move to web based media for years now with their persistent lack of Blu-ray support. With my iPhone that I got from freebiejeebies I can wirelessly stream music over the internet using app like Pandora and Last.fm so what comes next?
Netflix, the rapidly growing movie rental company that has been streaming movies over the internet to your desktop computers has expanded further. Netflix is now available on most gaming consoles, including Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii, and now it’s coming the your iPhone or iPod Touch.
The charge for streaming to your portable idevice is the same as it is to your desktop which some find controversial considering the noticeable drop in quality. Movies can be streamed over 3G or WiFi but it is highly advisable to stick to WiFi for stability and to avoid potential charges for high data usage.
