Netflix Releases Minor Update to iPad App


Netflix has released a minor update to their Netflix application.
The update, Version 1.0.3, is not the upcoming version of the application which will have support for the iPhone, which is expected to coincide with the release of iPhone OS 4. Instead, the update only provides minor bug fixes to the recent addition of the ability to show Netflix video on an external display via means of the VGA connector kit which is available for the iPad.
On the official application page in iTunes for Netflix, the company said that the new version includes “bug fixes in player when viewing on device or using video out connection.”
Netflix first hinted at the iPhone and iPod touch version of Netflix during the iPad’s initial release, telling users to “stay tuned” for a version of their app for other iOS devices. On June 7th, Netflix said that its iPhone and iPod Touch client would be coming “this summer.” The iPhone app will feature adaptive video playback which will increase and decrease video quality automatically based on the quality of the user’s connection. The feature will also include the ability to manage their queue from the app and resume playback on media which users began watching on other devices.
