Rumors are circulating that Netflix video streaming may be coming to the iPhone and iPod touch via a new application. While some remain skeptical that Apple would allow such an app in the App Store, other streaming video applications like TV.com's native iPhone app (direct iTunes link) are already offered freely via iTunes allowing streaming of full CBS episodes. Let's hope this is a trend and that a Hulu app is forthcoming as well.
