Netflix has been growing steadily so it’s actually no surprise to see this video-on-demand provider interested in the iPhone and iPod touch. Apple’s gadgets are becoming more and more popular and since they come with multimedia features, why shouldn’t Netflix make its Watch Instantly service to them too?

There’s no official news yet but we hear Netflix is indeed working on an application for the App Store. Users will be able to Watch Instantly movies from their queue as long as they are in the vicinity of a WiFi network. Needless to say that streaming videos through a 3G network will not be allowed. But will Apple really let iPhone users enjoy Netflix? Or will we see the application banned from the App Store soon?

To most iPhone and iPod Touch owners, seeing ads is nothing new. But apparently there is something different about this ad from i.TV. i.TV 1.4 includes a dedicated menu tab for Comcast subscribers, the world’s first “shakable” advertisement, AT&T U-verse listings and major performance improvements.

“Along with efforts to make i.TV faster and more stable, i.TV 1.4 includes a special menu tab for Comcast subscribers with information about video-on-demand offerings,” said i.TV CEO, Brad Pelo. “Yes, i.TV is a movie, DVD and TV guide for the iPhone and iPod touch, but it is also a hub where media companies can directly interact with their customers.”

i.TV has also integrated services from companies like TiVo and Netflix in order to connect users with their favorite media providers. With the release of i.TV 1.4, i.TV users now have instant access to Comcast video-on-demand listings.

i.TV is a free download for the iPhone and iPod touch, available exclusively in the US and Canada from the iTunes Store.
