Count me skeptical. This would compete with Apple's video offerings, and I could see them pulling the same "this duplicates existing functionality" stunt they have with other apps.
The point for Apple is the hardware and the hardware/software integration, NOT the content. If it works smoothly and seamlessly, I doubt there'll be much problem.
No the point for Apple is that right now you pay to download music, shows and films from their site only (unless you jailbreak the phone, of course).
No, that's NOT the point. Not when their profitability is MUCH lower with content than with hardware. If you get a smooth experience on an iPhone with 3rd party content providers, Apple isn't going to care.

unless they randomly do, because they have their own plans or their partners put presssure on this to drown it in the tub.
"If you get a smooth experience on an iPhone with 3rd party content providers, Apple isn't going to care."
Then why fid they bother with the iStore at all? They could just have someone more familar with internet downloads to run it for them. They didnt because they want that revenue from downloads. They wouldnt make it so bloody hard to upload content from other sources if they were okay with competition.
From the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Desk: as a direct result of this post, I only just now noticed that Netflix finally enabled Mac streaming eight months ago. I'd given up waiting for them, but I guess now it's subscription time.
I think I also remember you saying that "convergence" will take the form of computers eating television. I was skeptical, certainly not because I expected the inverse to happen--web on TV sucks hard--but because I perceived a degraded television experience.
But then the other night I decided I didn't want to risk falling asleep on the couch during Colbert again, so I fired up SlingPlayer on the iPhone and went to bed. That's when it hit me that I no longer think of the big screen in the living room as anything more than a big dedicated terminal for "TV." Point for Rogers.
I still am a bit skeptical based on the "grandma" factor, but I admit that argument has a limited shelf life.
Because they control the experience that way, it's a one stop hardware/software package that way.
The only way your argument makes sense is if their margins on distribution of content THEY DON'T CONTROL is larger than the margin on the content they do control.
"A couple problems here, though: first off, Watch Instantly doesn't store content locally, which means you've got to maintain an internet connection to enjoy the show. ... who wants to be stuck in a coffee shop for hours on end because you want to finish out a movie you've started? Secondly, if there's one thing Apple loves, it's maintaining control of the media ecosystem; we'll see hell freeze over before we'll see Watch Instantly on Apple TV, so why would the iPhone be any different?"
The iTunes store experience is credited as THE reason Apple has been able to dominate the media player market with the iPod. They do not make much $$ off of it - it is a loss leader to get people to buy the hardware, which will pretty much always be higher margin than media.
RE Netflix winning - anyone else made the move to using a Roku box w/ Netflix? We're about 36 hours into having ours and loving it. Having been on vacation when Leverage S2 opened, we're loving getting caught up on missed episodes from this season as well as see repeats from S1 anytime we want.
Yes, you do need to find a way to monetize that. It's so slick and cool for us that will bring down the industry if you're not making money that way.

Really? I can has "Leverage" on iPhone?
Man, if they could just dump AT&T as a primary carrier, I'd buy one in a damn heartbeat.

Which is kinda irrelevant.

A netflix streaming app would offer streaming shows for Nexflix's standard monthly charge which would lose Apple money.
I dont think Apple will see that as irrelevant.

The only way your argument makes sense is if their margins on distribution of content THEY DON'T CONTROL is larger than the margin on the content they do control.
If the margin on content they dint control was larger, they wouldnt have created the store in the first place.
Besides, netflix operates on a flat monthly fee where as iTunes charge per download.
>>>We better figure out how to monetize this. Now.
Too late! You should know that.

Heh. Three days ago I told Peggy that I needed a Netflix streaming app. Good timing.
