Apple TV to feature Netflix service - report

Apple's new TV device will include programming from US video rentals service Netflix, three people with knowledge of the plans told Bloomberg News. The streaming service would be available on the revamped version of Apple TV, due to be introduced on 1 September in San Francisco, said two of the people. Users would pay a subscription fee to Netflix for the service. Apple is due to release a USD 99 version of Apple TV, USD 130 less than the current model, people familiar with the plans said last week. Netflix, which distributes TV shows and movies by mail and online to subscribers starting at USD 8.99 a month, has provided a free downloadable application to users of Apple's Macintosh and iPad computers. Last month, it released new apps that let subscribers stream shows to the iPhone and iPod Touch.
