In a completely crazy coincidence… errrr, I mean after my top-notch investigative reporting skills gave you the heads-up just a few days ago… the Netflix App (Free) has launched TODAY!  You can now watch, for free, anything that is available as instant streaming on your TV or Computer.  Yes people, that means that starting right now you can have the entire world of Netflix at your literal fingertips… anytime you want it.

I wonder if there is any way to officially track today’s nationwide productivity, because I imagine it will be at a record low!

Here is what Netflix had to say on their official Press Release:

The Netflix App delivers a high-quality viewing experience, a broad array of movie and TV choices and a clean, intuitive interface. It is available via both Wi-Fi and 3G networks. TV episodes and movies are conveniently organized into a variety of categories based on members’ personal preferences, popular genres, new arrivals and members’ individual instant Queues. Members can choose a movie or TV episode from any of the lists and just tap the innovative Multi-Touch user interface to watch instantly or to save the title for viewing later.

Additionally, users have the option of fast-forwarding and rewinding the video stream, and stopping at any time. When users want to start watching again, the video stream starts exactly where it was stopped, even on a different device capable of streaming from Netflix.

The Netflix App supports any iPhone or iPod touch device running iOS version 3.13 or later.
