More times than I care to remember, I forget to update my NetFlix queue and discover new movie releases at the checkout stand at the grocery store. Then by the time I get home I'm distracted again. That's why I'm excited about NetFlix Mobile. With the service you can see the next ten movies in your queue, browse for new movies, add to your queue, and even view a short synopsis. It's a great start, but there are a few features I'd like to see: UPC snap. Movie Ratings. Video Previews. Upcoming releases. Queue reordering. Either way, this is an idea that's time is overdue. Bookmarked!"</i><br /><br />You can try the service out at <a href="http://www.netflix.com/mobile">http://www.netflix.com/mobile</a> as well. They have done quite a good job with making it quite featureful but don't know how often I will end up using it as I am actually quite proactive about keeping my Netflix queue up to date. Do you feel you would use it?

Just tried it on my Razr from Verizon. Not bad, not bad at all. Poked around the site for a little bit and it does as advertised.

The search becomes a little cumbersome if you don't know the exact title but that is to be expected with a small screen and numerous results.

All and all a good thing. Nice find. :D
