Netflix tops 800+ devices, tablets overtake PC viewing [GigaOM]
Netflix has been putting an emphasis on app development for mobile devices and connected TVs. Now there are over 800 different devices that have the ability to stream Netflix movies, and Netflix representatives say that number is constantly growing.
Roughly six months ago, there were only about 450 different devices with Netflix. Game consoles have always been a strong category for Netflix and there doesn't appear to be any slowing of that trend. Reports even show that the PS3 contributed over 30 percent of all Netflix traffic on its own.
One category that appears to be playing a significant role in the jump in Netflix-capable devices is tablets. In fact, CEO Reed Hastings stated that more Netflix viewing is taking place on tablets now than on PCs – a category which used to make up about 20% of all traffic.
The Smart TV category is also growing quickly for Netflix, and connected TV devices like Apple TV have been "really successful," according to Hastings.
"honey you're never satisfied."no, it's not that. not even a litlte bit. i just have a constant drive for better .. i KNOW i can be a better partner, wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, CHRISTIAN . what ways can i change . better yet, how can i improve?another idea that came to mind was the medical field. if there was not constant evaluation and studies and technology changes, our world would be a lot less populated because the death rate, for not only adults, but babies as well, would be extremely high just like they were years and years ago. people would die from things like the common cold and such. sorry, i know it was probably NOTHING along the lines of your thought process, but it's where my mind went when i read this.always an interesting read, Mr Rivera

Totally love this new podcast. I grew up in the 80 s and cdolun't agree with you guys more on this movie. I watched this when I was 13 or so in the theater and I remember turning to my buddies and saying this exactly If those damn horses fly off the cliff and keep going, I am out of here. That is exactly what they did though and we stayed regardless.

If you do not wish to get content from Apple, then don't get the Apple TV, lesnus you are Canadian ( in where it supports Canadian Netflix, while Roku yet doesn't).I don't know enough about Google TV yet, but for the price of the Logitech box, I wouldn't try it yet.
