Just as promised, Netflix just upgraded their streaming video app to add iPhone and iPod touch support. Users will be able to see recommended movies, browse by genre and search, plus (most importantly) watch movies directly on the device. You can also view your instant queue, but at the moment you can't edit it, only add a movie to it, but you can move new movies to the top of the queue.
In testing the app, it works seamlessly on 3G, and even better when you're on Wi-Fi, movies loaded fast, in our testing they started playing even faster than videos in the YouTube app. The app works like the iPad version too, after exiting the app, you can start your movie right where you left off, and other movies that you've started to watch but haven't finished will show how much is left and you can pick up from where you left off as well. All in all, we personally love it.
