Apple accepts Netflix

A few weeks ago I posted a blog item that said that Apple was trying to muscle out Netflix with a product that didn’t seem to be all that practical. Well, it seems that I might have been wrong. Either that or Apple realized that their own version of Netflix wasn’t ready to be released to the public.

Apple has now begun to offer Netflix streaming on several Apple products. The AppleTV, the iPad, and the iPhone are now able to stream Netflix in 1080p via the use of an application. The costumers are able to pay for their Netflix account through their iTunes account.

I personally don’t know how I feel about it. It’s good for Netflix because Apple is a huge client to secure and if Apple signs off on something, others will sign on as well. So, business wise it was a smart decision. However, Apple does have a tendency to try and monopolize or change markets. But you know, as long as they don’t take away my Legend of the Seeker then I’ll be fine.
