Microsoft unveils Netflix queue management for Windows Mobile devices

Taking a page from i.TV, last night during the Ballmer keynote Microsoft announced a Netflix queue management app for Windows Mobile devices. Pick a Watch Instantly movie and it shows right up in your Xbox 360 (or any other Netflix-enabled device's) viewing queue. PyxisMobile offers similar functionality in its Smartflix program for those who can't wait until later this month when Microsoft & Netflix's homegrown version becomes available.

Woohoo! Another unchaining app to use with my Tivo. Now if we can just get Tivo BT remote on mobile devices.

This would be fantastic if Netflix "Watch Instantly" had anything good to watch in the first place. Maybe they should work on getting the content first, before populating the world with streaming devices and utilities to use a service that has almost nothing worth seeing.
