Netflix app for the iPad debuts in iTunes Store

The iPad is getting more appealing by the day, and it's not even out until tomorrow. Now Netflix has debuted an app for the Apple tablet computer in the iTunes Store that is all ready for the big release on Saturday, April 3.

Basically, iPad users will be able to do anything on the Netflix app that they could on the actual website, from updating the queue to being able to instantly stream TV shows and movies on that shiny 9.7-inch touchscreen display.

Personally, I'm not interested in getting an iPad - at least not yet. While some people think that the lack of Flash support isn't a big deal, I thought before that it would be. Part of what I'd want to use an iPad for is streaming video content easily from anywhere. But with the debut of the Netflix app and also the ABC.com app, the iPad now seems to be much more entertaining.

The Netflix app for the iPad is free and available for download from iTunes. If you're looking to make the most out of your iPad but you don't have a Netflix subscription, packages start at $8.99.
