Let’s say you want to watch some movies on your iPad, but you don’t have enough space to store them. Or perhaps you just want to browse the web on your iPod touch, but all you have is an ethernet cable in your hotel room. G-Connect’s got this. It’s a hard drive in a box that not only can stream media to your iOS device (with a free app) but it can take an ethernet cable and make Wi-Fi.

Today, Netflix updated their Universal iOS app for streaming Instant Watch content with support for subtitles (where available). Whether you’re watching something foreign, are hard of hearing or just think the book was better, the Netflix iOS app version 1.3 has you covered. It should be noted that not all Netflix content has subtitles to begin with, but if subtitles are available, you’ll see a caption icon on the playback controls.

The Game Developers Conference kicks off today at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and while they haven’t announced any new games (other than the eagerly anticipated Portal 2, which is getting a same-day release on the Mac), Valve has announced two of the projects they’re going to be discussing with developers: microtransactions and a new “big picture” mode for Steam.

Chances are good that you’ve been itching to use AirPlay, but not quite enough to buy a new Apple TV. Thanks to Erica Sudan, there is another way (for now at least). She’s been “spending far, far too much time reverse engineering Airplay.” And thankfully, she’s been kind enough to share her application, AirPlayer, with the world.

The latest update to the Netflix app is out with full support for Instant Watch on iPhone and iPod touch. That means you can access your Netflix account anywhere you have Internet access. The app allows you to find movies or TV shows on the go, add them to your queue, and now even stream any of the Instant Watch collection. I’m still uncertain how many people really want to stream a movie or TV show to their iPhone or iPod touch and actually watch it on the device.

Rumors have been swirling around a potential Apple TV price drop to $99. In addition, we’ve also read Apple TV will stream content to users, instead of storing content locally. The last major rumor that’s been circulating is that it will, in the future, use a variation of the iOS software. But now, you can add this to that laundry list of rumors: TV show rentals for 99 cents a piece.

Elgato’s EyeTV app for iPhone is nearly everything you’d want from a TV app. It shows what you’ve already recorded, it shows you scheduled recordings for the future, it gives you access to the TV Guide data you pay yearly for, it even streams past recordings (provided they’ve been converted for iPhone) over 3G, not just Wifi. And of course, the biggest feature here, it’ll stream live TV over Wifi, not just your home network.

Love Netflix’s Watch Instantly feature? What Netflix subscriber doesn’t? The feature is awesome for really getting a ton of use out of your monthly subscription, given that you have the time next to your computer. If time next to the computer is an issue, then perhaps it will excite you to read the report from Multichannel News about the possibility of Netflix making the Watch Instantly feature into an iPhone app.

Hey you know what would be great? If there was a way to play Hulu without going to the website. Or while we’re at it wishing, why not CBS and Comedy Central too? Yeah, that would be great. If only it were possible…

Wait what? It is possible? I can watch Hulu and CBS on my Apple TV… like full episodes, movies and clips and stuff? Seriously?

Seriously. And all you need is to get America’s Next Top Model Gadget as selected by the Consumer Electronics Association.

Details and video after the break.

Boxee is a new application for the Mac that is much like Front Row, only better—in theory. It is an open source effort, meaning that plug-ins can be added and it can be modified by others besides the developers. It is currently in a private alpha stage, and I just so happen to be a private alpha member, and I figured I should bring a preview to you.
