No Mention of Netflix?

I can't believe this isn't bigger news. I tried it out yesterday and it worked really well, even on 3G. Plugged it into my TV and it played back well enough. The resolution wasn't as good as my BluRay player, but coming from a phone...nice.

I mentioned it in the Media section.

I suppose because they weren't the first to offer Netflix preinstalled as expected. I think you're right though, they should mention it's key features and capabilities that set them apart.
