i.TV was listed as one of the top apps in the iTunes App Store for 2008. To be specific, we were listed as the #3 free entertainment application over all. Pretty good, considering that we only launched in October of this year.

An update to i.TV was just released in the iTunes App Store and we think you’re gonna like it!

Here’s what is new with this update:

NETFLIX

• Search results now include over 100,000 DVD titles from Netflix, in addition to TV programs, in-theater movies and detailed show information and cast lists.
• Discover Netflix DVD titles by tapping the ‘Watch’ button from any TV or movie details screen.
• Easily reorder or delete items in your Netflix queue from within the My Media tab.
• Add movies and TV episodes to your Netflix instant watching queue, allowing you to instantly stream content to your Windows PC, Xbox 360, Roku box, TiVo® Series3, TiVo HD, or TiVo HD XL digital video recorders and select Blu-Ray players. (Mac support by end of 2008).

In case you didn’t know it already, i.TV made it to NUMBER ONE in the App Store last night! Thanks to all of you who have downloaded the app and have given us such great reviews.

Here is what some in the press and blogosphere are saying about i.TV (in order of appearance):

There are a lot of App Store submissions and works-in-progress that trigger anticipatory drooling here at TUAW…, among them the program guide and movie finder i.TV…Now you can download this free tool from the App Store and see for yourself what’s so exciting.

Michael Rose, TUAW

Yes, i.TV is a piece of software. But if i.TV was human, you’d want to invite it to a candlelit dinner, look into its eyes and say “you are so sexy.”

Scott Kleinberg–iPTIB, RedeyeChicago, Chicago Tribune

Your weekend needs a well-structured plan for backlit entertainments. And thankfully the value quotient is very high with…i.TV.

The service provides rich background information for most programs, including celebrity photos, biographies, show synopses, ratings, and reviews. i.TV also gives users advanced sort options that make it easy to organize television listings according to categories such as channel, show, and genre. Additionally, customers can use built-in filtering capabilities to exclude information from their listings, such as adult content.

i.TV includes a number of community-focused features that enable users to discover programming and socialize around entertainment. Customers can also use i.TV to recommend shows through an email alert to friends. The application allows users to give shows star ratings, write their own reviews, and respond to reviews written by other members of the i.TV community.

i.TV also has the capability to deliver entertainment directly to the end user. Using the iPhone or iPod touch, i.TV’s customers have access to a large selection of movie trailers and television previews that can be streamed directly to their device.
