Streaming video provider Netflix has announced the launch of its services for users of Nintendo's 3DS handheld consoles.
Members of the on-demand streaming media service in the US will be able to view content on the upper screen of the 3DS console, ensuring they can enjoy movies, music and other content while on the go. "The value of 3D images without the need for special glasses is hard to be understood through the existing media," Nintendo chief Satoru Iwata commented. However, he added that the new device gives people a greater opportunity to experience glasses-free 3D and to see for themselves the capabilities of the technology in terms of comfort and ease of use. Meanwhile, another big business collaboration was recently announced between Virgin Media and streaming audio provider Spotify. The pair signed an agreement giving Virgin Media subscribers access to the 13 million tracks presently offered by Spotify via their computer, mobile or TV. Posted by Kevin Smith ![]() |
