“The iPad’s a big plus for Netflix for two reasons. One is, it’s just a much higher-resolution screen, so it’s just a much better viewing experience for all of Netflix’s customers. But secondly, Netflix has a much higher profile positioning, it’s much easier for Netflix to capture new customers through iTunes and so forth.” ~ Tilson
