Netflix: Devices
As well as streaming from your computer, Netflix works on pretty much all of the major platforms, including Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, Apple iPhone and Apple iPad. There are also client for various web TVs from the likes of Samsung, along with LG Blu-ray players and LG home theatre systems, along with media streamer boxes from brands like Roku.
The fact that Netflix works on Apple TV as well as across numerous Android devices is also a major boon, and something that Lovefilm doesn't currently offer (there is an Android app where you can manage your list and settings, but no streaming).
However, Lovefilm is aiming to be make its service available on as many devices as possible so it's a reasonable assumption that we won't have to wait too long to see streaming capability on Android devices.
The ability to stream Netflix via the iPhone app using 3G is also great news, although it probably depends on what the 3G signal is like where you live, or more likely what it's like at your gym or on your commuting route, as we're guessing those are the the places where most people will want to watch Netflix on their phone's relatively tiny screen.
Buffering on both the iPad and Android tablet apps is surprisingly swift meaning that you get get stuck into watching your chosen title pretty much straight away.
Syncing between devices is a nice touch, which means that you could start watching something on your laptop, and then pick up where you left off at a later time on another device. The UI is simple to use and more or less the same across different platforms, so the whole experience is pretty much uniform, no matter what you're gadget you're watching on.
