Parents rejoice!

Today Netflix released an update to their iOS application that will allow iPhone owners to take advantage of anything available via the Watch Instantly section of their account.

The best part – it appears to work over both Wi-Fi and 3G.

For those of us with kids this is fantastic as I can now load up a movie or TV show the kids like to watch in the Instant Watch Queue and when we’re on the road (like the upcoming trip to their cousins) I can open the app and appease the one not playing DS.

Even though it may not be the home theater experience – will you stream to your iPhone?

All of the updates are explained over on the Evernote blog so be sure to jump over there to get the full rundown.

The ocean has gone quiet as Google decides to halt development of Google Wave.

But despite these wins, and numerous loyal fans, Wave has not seen the user adoption we would have liked. We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects.

- Urs Hölzle, Senior Vice President, Operations & Google Fellow

For myself I have mixed feelings on this as I have been a Wave proponent but at the same time never really managed to integrate it into my daily workflow or the teams that I work with. Some of the features that drew me to Wave, like the ability to collaborate in real time with others has already been incorporated into other products, like Google Docs, so hopefully I’ll be able to take advantage of it there.

I do want to congratulate Google on this decision though and that might cause some to get upset with me but it takes a responsible Project Manager or Company to make the tough call of cancelling a project when it just make sense to continue it.

So, were you a “Waver?” If so, what are you going to use in its place?
