If you’ve ever been stuck anywhere for any length of time, the combination of an $8-per-month Netflix streaming subscription and the company’s free iPhone app is worth its weight in gold. Movies and TV shows stream decently even over a 3G connection, and you can add content to your Instant Queue for easy playback when you get back home. Best of all, if you’re watching something on Netflix through your TV or computer, the iPhone app will pick up right where you left off.
