People didn't want a Netflix streaming app until Netflix released one for the iPhone. Furthermore, Netflix will not release to any platform that doesn't do DRM the way the studios want it done and I doubt webOS provides enough security for Netflix to make an app for it. This will not change without an OS modification. The reason why Netflix is on WP7 is because Netflix and Microsoft are thick as blood (Microsoft Silverlight, enough said), let's not pretend to be shocked and cry about it.
MyQ is an excellent Netflix manager and the only "feature" it lacks is mobile streaming, which didn't debut until very recently. You'll notice that it has every feature that a Netflix queue manager is missing because a Netflix queue manager does not exist. And trust, they want one. Every other comment on the streaming app is WHY DOESN'T IT MANAGE MY QUEUE, TOO! because everyone is too cheap to pay for a decent queue manager and the free ones suck.
Hulu Plus, stop. Who here is paying for Hulu Plus or would if it was on webOS? Knowing that it costs $9.99 a month with ads and half the content on there will not stream on anything other than a computer because of licensing agreements? Which is probably why the price is rumored to be dropping down to $4.99.
Why do you want an official Twitter app? Pick any of the many apps on webOS, pretty much every one is destined to be better than the official one in every way except the way I suppose matters most and that's they aren't free.
With regards to the Amazon website/app, more companies are speculating moving to a web app to reach multiple platforms. I think this is stupid, but that's what it is. And do you know why? Because they can't be assed to develop for the little guys. And Palm is not going to stop being a little guy anytime soon. So if it bothers you that much, you know what to do. Not to rip on this thread, but honestly, let's face reality. At this point, you either need to accept you're on a novelty OS or just get an iPhone.
