Pyxis Mobile, better known for delivering financial applications, created something a bit more fun. Movela Netflix Manager for BlackBerry allow you to control your queue of dvd and instant video streaming. The changes made on your BlackBerry typically take about 14 seconds to be applied to your Netflix account. Check out the video for more information on the Movela Netflix Manager and Pyxis. You can pick up the app on the BlackBerry App World for $2.99
The fine folks at Pyxis Mobile pinged me last night to let me know that they have released a beta version of SmartFlicks for BlackBerry. SmartFlicks is a Netflix client that is impressive not only for what it does, but for how it was made. Apparently, Pyxis leveraged the same client and codebase used to service their financial services customers to build the application in a day. Also, because the application is ‘built’ on your BlackBerry when you run it, Pyxis can add features and enhancements at any time that will appear in SmartFlicks the next time you log in.
You can download the SmartFlicks for BlackBerry beta after the jump, but if you’re attending the BlackBerry Developer Conference, make sure to swing by the BlackBerry Cool 15 and watch Arun Nagarajan of Pyxis Mobile demonstrate SmartFlicks and the technology behind it in person!
