Yup, I've used my N900 to manage my queues.

Does anyone understand the Roku well enough to tell me whether it would allow me to broadcast video to my N900? The most current Roku says it makes video available anywhere in the area via wireless using the Wireless N protocol.

So DRM makes it possible to provide the milk without giving away the cow. No doubt a streaming application provided by Netflix would preserve the difficulty in mis-appropriating the content.

I've been a subscriber to Netflix since they had 7800 titles in their catalogue. I would really enjoy being able to watch a short or cartoon on the N900 to fill in idle moments when I am tired of playing Angry Birds. I would like to see that application come from them.
The reason that I havenīt signed up with them is more or less because I canīt watch Netflix on my N900. I donīt want to turn my laptop on to watch a show or movie. Iīve got the N900 with me at all times, but try to leave the laptop behind at every chance I get.

Could some one explain to me how netflix is possible in Android without Silverlight, being installed in many unauthorized devices (like the nook color) but still is an impossible in the N900?
Any ideas?

The Netflix company made the Netflix Android client. They can use whatever delivery technology they decide makes sense for their official Netflix apps since they also control the servers.

Via Nitdroid on the n900 is the only method I'm aware of (besides RDP or VNC to your desktop machine.)
