Netflix to Bring 'Watch it Instantly' to iPhones, Wii?

According to Multichannel News, rumors are popping up saying that Netflix is trying to bring streaming video to the iPhone and Nintendo Wii.

Netflix, ahead of pay-TV providers, continues extending its own “TV Everywhere” strategy to more devices.

Next up: The company will soon offer the Watch Instantly video-streaming feature on Apple iPhones and iPod Touch devices and the Nintendo Wii gaming console, according to an industry executive familiar with Netflix’s plans. (Netflix wouldn’t confirm the info, with a rep saying it declines to comment on “rumors or speculation.”)

ABC Shows Coming to Hulu

To say it's about time, is an understatement. Regardless, ABC shows will finally be available for online viewing as soon as next week. ABC and Hulu came to an agreement earlier this year and it looks like we'll finally see/watch the results. The first show will be Grey's Anatomy followed by Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty and Lost over the next few weeks. [Hulu Blog]

WTF? Mobile NBC.com Streams Video to iPhone, Android???

The guys at lifehacker decided to try out NBC.com's mobile site m.nbc.com and as it turns out, the site is awesome. Why? Well, because as people eagerly await a hulu app for the iPhone and Android to watch streaming videos or full eps of tv shows, apparently NBC's mobile site has had it available all along in a Quicktime format! It was the okie-doke! While the quality isn't as good as watching a show on a computer, but it works pretty well, even on EDGE/3G!
There's a ton of full episodes available. They are usually broken down into 4 or 5 parts to make streaming a little smoother. Oh yea, and there are ads (the first ad I saw for the Blackberry Bold, how ironic). Also, Lifehacker says that the streaming on Android seems "clunky" even without a lag. [Lifehacker] [NBC Mobile]
