In a Q&A with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, Reuters reveals that the company does not have any "short term" plans to bring video viewing and/or streaming to the iPhone and iPod touch. Netflix is instead continuing to focus its efforts on its core TV-based business and consumer electronics such as Blu-ray players and video game systems associated with that medium.
Hastings' comments conflict with a relatively recent report claiming that the company would "soon offer" its streaming service, known as "Watch Instantly", on the iPhone and iPod touch.Reuters: Any plans to work in partnership with Apple and the iPhone?
Hastings: its something thats likely to come over time. But nothing in the short term. (With) movie watching, we are not focused on mobile yet, but (instead) on the TV, on Blu-ray and on the video game consoles. We will get to mobile eventually, including the iPhone.
