With all of the increased competition coming from Apple these days, Netflix seems to have a strategy for 2008 that will move the movie rental service beyond serving DVDs through mailboxes across America.

Not a week has passed since I assembled a list of predictions for 2008 for your amusement, and already we find two well-known corporate entities deliver an official press release proving one postulation to be quite on-target.
