It’s been a good long while since I had a geeky post but yesterday… oh yesterday Netflix released a “Watch Instantly” player for iPhone.

Oh how it’s been something I longed for.  Wanted.  Needed.  Had to have.  I mean I’m not entirely sure how often I’m going to need to stream movies or TV shows to my tiny little phone but the fact of the matter is?  NOW I CAN.  And really that’s what’s important.

At least that’s what I told myself as I was laying in bed yesterday morning checking out the app (which is available to download for free if you’re running iPhone OS 4).  I was still nestled all snug in my bed watching season 7 episode 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it gave me a big old warm fuzzy.  No, not because that’s the season when Spike has a soul.  Because I have a brand shiny new toy.  One that I don’t have to pay anything additional for.

I already have my iPhone.  I already have my Netflix. Now I have a fancy new media viewing device.

Also? I’m totally blind without my contacts in so I can’t see my TV from bed anyway.
