Netflix has made an upgrade to their mobile app for iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad, and this update is especially good news for owners of the latter: the new Netflix app is optimized for use and viewing on the iPad, and it looks pretty slick.

The single most-talked-about online video topic all week long was the capture and death of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. In fact, if you merely browse YouTube by “most viewed this week,” nearly every other video will be Gaddafi-related.

Well, Apple isn’t really doing much except maybe nudging studios and preaching about the awesomeness of their products, but several big names in TV have made some overtures to get their TV content in front of iOS users, mainly the iPad. Since it seems like a nice sort of platform for that sort of thing, I would love to watch TV on an iPad from what I’ve seen of them, especially in those spaces where it’s up close and personal and I don’t have much space: bus, plane, etc.
