PocketFlix Review: Netflix for the iPhone

If you’re a Netflix user, you know that new movie ideas pop in and out of your head on a daily basis.  Unfortunately, Netflix’s site is hard to navigate on mobile browsers, so changing your queue and finding new movies on the fly isn’t very easy.  However, with the new PocketFlix application from Cyrus Najmabadi recently hitting Apple’s iPhone application store, you can handle all of your Netflix “doings” on the fly.

However, there are some really cool things that you can do with the new trackpad that go way behind just mouse clicks.

News: Slingbox iPhone Application Coming Soon

Sling Media has just announced that their must anticipated Slingbox iPhone application will be released in Quarter 1 of 2009.  If you are not currently aware, Slingbox is a device which allows you to wirelessly connect to your television (and DVR) from anywhere in the World.  The product began as a way for computer users to watch and control their TV’s wherever they had an internet connection, but it has since grown to work on mobile devices including the BlackBerry, Windows Mobile Smartphone, Palm, and Symbian devices.
