Netflix for Android has been released!
- Thread starter MRCANNADY
- Start date
"But for now, at least, the app will only be available on select Android phones. Those include the HTC Incredible with Android 2.2, HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2 and 2.3, the HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2, the HTC G2 with Android 2.2 and the Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3."
guess my evo with 2.3 is no good..... someone with one of the said 2.3 devices have the apk they would like to share?

Install it from your PC on your 2.3 evo, thats what i did with my CM7 onboard
works fine on my evo with miui.
i dunno why i'm even in the xoom forum any more... i think i regret returning it.

I got excited, but you should update the title to say "not for xoom--yet" since this is a xoom forum.
yes but the point is that they have finally shown Android some love...this will look great and the Xoom when the update is released.
I side-loaded the app and tried it on the Xoom, received an error message, come on Netflix...Tablet support is a must..I a drooling just thinking about using Netflix on the bus with our 10 inch screens!!
Works fine on my CM7 Evo, I had to download it from the Evo forum though since it didn't show up on the market.
I can confirm it doesn't work on Xoom. I sideloaded it, and it pops up a message This device is not supported. It lets me log in and then I try to play something again another message this device is not supported. :-(
What really gets me about the delay in getting it out to Android devices was Netflix' constant mantra about how they "needed a reliable DRM solution for Android'. Well I just downloaded it onto my EVO, which hasn't had an update since what- October?
IOW there's no new DRM code in the Froyo OS (unlike the Honeycomb 3.1 update, which has it), which means it comes via the app- and since we know the iPad has Netflix, there's no reason left why there can't be one for HC.
Like you said- come on, Netflix! What gives?!
I think it has alot to do with the movies google just released. Probably wanna give that awhile before allowing netflix in. Smart business is all.
I could put more weight behind this were it not for the fact that I've been able to watch Amazon Instant Movies since the day a Xoom-capable Flash was released.
Besides, Amazon's "all-you-can eat" pricing model for older releases isn't the same as Google's "new(er)-release, rent now" model.
I imagine it wouldn't be a bad idea for someone to post a link to the uploaded apk somewhere so that lazy people like me can sideload as soon as they get this news.

Not everyone looks like a mark, ya know ... you'd be surprised where I've brought out my X.
This can't be too far behind and I am really looking forward to abusing other peoples bandwidth
