Appletell reviews iRentMovie for iPhone, iPod touch

If you need to manage your Netflix queue on the go—and let’s be honest here, it’s pretty much the reason the internet, electricity, and written language was invented—you have quite a few choices, from the free, to the ad-supported, to apps you have to pay for. iRentMovie – Netflix Manager for iPhone, is a solid application that any Netflix user would find useful, but includes little that you can’t find in other, cheaper apps.

Three Netflix apps for iPhone

Netflix is the popular movie service where users can create a list of DVDs they want to watch, which are then mailed one at a time. In addition, Netflix has recently added a streaming component (“Watch Instantly“) where you can watch from your computer.

The problem with this, of course, is that the service simply isn’t obsessive enough. Sure, you can update your queue whenever you’re at your computer, but what if you’re out walking around, and you suddenly realize you need to watch The 400 Blows this week, or move Tommy Boy to the top of your list? What then?

Fortunately, there are a slew of apps for managing your Netflix account from your iPhone or iPod touch, and today I’m looking at three: two free, and one available for $0.99.
