My day job got a couple iPads for development purposes so I thought I’d take one for a spin. Readers probably won’t look here for an iPad review, so that’s not the topic but it’s a cool side-note. I’ve decided to try and write this entire post from the iPad. It seems fitting that this post is sort of related.

Over the 4th of July holiday, my wife and I had the pleasure of lounging about a little bit and we took full advantage. It’s one of the best parts of stay at home vacations. We both enjoy movies and streaming movies through the Wii console but if you’ve ever perused the available titles, you know that it’s tough to find anything recent. Hopefully, that’s all about to change.

Relativity Movies on Netflix

Netflix recently entered into an agreement with Relativity Media that will provide users access to titles within months of the DVD release as opposed to years later. Some of the movies that you’ll see sooner rather than later include Season of the Witch and The Fighter.

This also gives hope that other big names like HBO and Showtime will follow suit and really fill out the “Watch Instant” movie pool. Hopefully, I’ll never again have to make the tough choice between watching Beetle Juice or Dune.

For some additional information, check out this article from Ars Technica.

P.S.
I couldn’t complete the article on the iPad. It wouldn’t adjust the window size or scroll through the post so I was kinda trapped. I did however stream a movie after I finished and that was pretty sweet. iPads are cool but they don’t make my wish-list.

What do you think? Do you stream movie from Netflix?
