Not being able to manage your by-mail queue from your instant device is technically, a backward move.
If you are happy with getting less from each service offering...
having to pay two separate monthly bills for what you used to play in one...
use multiple devices to plan your entertainment...
Fine, maybe there are enough people like you to keep both companies afloat. I'm a bit more skeptical.
