Talk about being on a hot streak. Netflix has been the talk of the town in this place lately, hiring a new guy to concentrate on digital distribution, nixing HD DVD rentals for good and showing up on your iPod touch / iPhone. You heard right — thanks to a new third-party application from i.TV, users can at this time manage their Netflix queue right from their handheld. In the app, users can see detailed content information, ratings, cast credits and recommendations, and you can even sign up for access or link to an existing account. Oh, and did we mention it’s free to download? Because it is.

Oh sure, a few remarkably lucky and / or well connected individuals out there are yapping it up on a white T-Mobile G1 right this very moment, but for the most of us, coming across one is basically impossible; in fact, the white G1 isn’t even listed on T-Mobile’s website currently. TMO News has it that the lightest hue of the HTC-built handset isn’t expected to ship until at least the US Thanksgiving holiday, meaning that you’ve still got some serious time to kill before wrapping your paws around the increasingly enviable mobile. unverified information have been rampant that a paint chipping issue is at fault, and while we’ve yet to hear any confirmation of that, we have seen problems with white paint throw a wrench in the production plans of other mega-corps in the past. There’s continuously the black G1 + Colorware if you’re really impatient, you know.

While Americans have been enjoying the spoils of the RC29 and RC30 updates for a matter of hours at this time, folks in the UK have finally been treated to an update of their own. The RC8 update, which was recently delivered to Brits over the air, looks to be a single update that mashes together the fixes found in Bot. the RC29 and RC30 updates available in the US. Initial reports suggest that the phone at this time runs a touch cooler, though it’s being debated whether or not battery life has improved or worsened. Have any of you across the pond been able to test it out and see what’s new?
