Netflix CEO Reed Hastings:

It’s not a huge priority for us because we’re so focused on the larger screens. Until we get our TV ubiquity and our Blu-ray ubiquity and we’re getting close on video game ubiquity, then we would next turn to the small screen. So it’s something we will get around to, but it’s not in the near term.

Absolutely lame. They gave away $1 million in a programming contest last year, but they wont get some staffers to write an iPhone app. For all my complaints, though, I’m sure it’ll happen eventually. When the Netflix iPhone app rumors start surfacing, I think the biggest questions will be, “will it only work on the iPhone, or will it play to a TV with an AV cable, dock, and remote?” and also, “will it work on 3G?” I’m betting no on both.
