I started writing this, stopped, started again and never finished it. I’ll let it go as is and do a follow-up shortly.

I’ve mentioned over the last couple of posts about a few of my more recent acquisitions. These purchases, along with a subscription to Netflix, have opened up a whole new avenue for entertainment. 3 of the devices I have connected to my TV (TiVo Premiere, Playstation 3 and Wii) are able to stream instant movies from Netflix, with varying levels of utility. I’d be able to stream them to my Macbook too if I was willing to install Silverlight, but I’m not. As of a couple of days ago, I’m also able to stream this content to my iPhone.

I decided to try this new form of convergence out. I downloaded the app to my iPhone and started watching a movie. It worked fairly well and would probably be a decent way to kill some time if I found myself at a loose end somewhere. I noticed before that I was able to pause the movie on one device and pick it up at the same point on another, so I decided to check that out with the iPhone. It worked just as it had with the other devices. With this feature, I’d be able to begin watching a movie at home and continue watching it if I had to leave and go somewhere (obviously under someone else’s steam – attempting to watch a movie while driving is not advisable in the slightest). Essentially, I’m not tied to any one place. I’m also not restricted to watching movies on a palm sized screen should I find myself back at the house with my TV at my disposal.
