The Netflix account management app is pretty cool on the iPhone.  But it would be a lot cooler if you could stream movies straight out your queue.  According to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings it will happen at some point.  Making it seem like it’s not really one of his priorities he expressed the following:

It’s something that’s likely to come over time. But nothing in the short term. (With) movie watching, we are not focused on mobile yet, but (instead) on the TV, on Blu-ray and on the video game consoles. We will get to mobile eventually, including the iPhone.

We’ve seen Sirius XM make it happen and it only makes sense for Netflix to go that route so hopefully Mr. Hastings can make time to work it out.

    Just what the AT&T system needs – millions of customers all trying to stream their Netflix movies at one time. While I’d like the convenience, I don’t think there could be enough bandwith or speed on the 3G network for this.
