Yea, it better be only available through WIFI, at&t's 3G has already turned to sh*t cheers to all those trendy iPhone clones and my grand carrier being slow to revamp their 3G/3.5G [lmao] network. Anyway, this is pretty cool, I've been wanting to hop on the Netflix bandwagon, which is why I just recently re-opened a bank account =]

Not sure why you told us that but...Chances are it would not use WiFi since thats not a Universal template, but you can stream mp4 or 3gp quite fluently with technology over 3g probably just fine i.e mobile youtube...It would be a great incentive to get people in to the data plan is to include Netflix...

The only reason why I also think it might not happen is because it may conflict with Apple's video store. People may choose netflix over buying movies from itunes. But then again, doing something like this may attract a lot of customers to the iPhone.

it's garbage!! why would anyone want to watch a movie in a tiny 3.5" screen. if you're in an area with wifi, chances are you're at home, friend's house or hotel rooms, PC/Laptop or TVs seem to be much better option. Same goes with Slingbox. stupid att just has to screw it up for everyeone. if you know by taking on a product that might potentially cripple your network, then don't do it at all. they just want a lot new activations or accounts with the bandwidth hogging device but the network itself isn't ready to handle the load

I don't think AT&T expected the iPhone to put so much strain on their network. I don't think anybody expected that. And what do you want them to now? Stop selling the iPhone even though it's one of the most succesful phones on their network and has brought millions of customers to AT&T? I don't think so. And I'm pretty sure that if any other carrier were to recieve the iPhone like AT&T, similar problems would have occured. I don't think that any company could really have been prepared for that. A few months ago, it was reported that 50% of all data came from the iPhone alone. That's kind of a lot. So that means AT&T had to deal with all that data from the iPhone alone. That's not even including the other data phones that AT&T offers. So last year AT&T handles OVER 50% percent of mobile data while less than 50% was shared among Verizon, Sprint, t-mobile, and other carriers. I think 3.5 is too big as it is for a mobile phone. I'm seeing a lot of phones with humongous screens like the chocolate and the omnia HD and I'm thinking that that is just overdoing it. And television is a better alternative if you can find one. But at the same time, you don't carry your netflix movies in your pocket. And there is wifi throughout college campuses, some hospitals, libraries, coffee shops, airports, some malls, etc.

It's going to have to be Wi-Fi. We're already hearing about the strain that the iPhone is putting on the AT&T infrastructure. Add this and I can see the house of cards come tumbling down.
