In yet another attempt to get customers to watch movies on tiny, two-inch screens, online DVD rental king Netflix now says that it will begin to offer
streaming videos and TV shows to PCs -- and that the capability will eventually reach the mobile handset.
I can see streaming videos and especially TV shows from the Internet into a PC these days (if the process doesn't take forever), but I'm still unconvinced that customers
will want to experience anything video-like on a tiny cellphone screen. At least, for a while -- and my phone needs surround sound as well, please.
