tried to watch a rented movie...

[winkeye]

actually tried to download it for offline viewing. would not complete - error fetching license or something. Completed a form asking for a refund - and this is the response.

"Sorry you encountered this error on your first attempt to view an Android
Market movie. This error occurs if you attempt to play a movie on a rooted
device. Rooted devices are currently unsupported due to security reasons.
I've gone ahead and refunded you for your purchase. Thanks."

I'll answer you, but there are literally 3 threads on this.

If you are rooted, it ruins the DRM encryption and won't play the movie. There is not a work around ATM.

conservatively:

Current avg for gas: $3.98/gal
Your car's MPG: 24mpg
Distance to Redbox: 3mi (6mi roundtrip)
Gas burnt: .25 gal
Gas cost: $0.96
Consider wear and tear on the vehicle as well (tires, oil, engine, etc), I'm pretty sure it'd rise well above the $1 you are spending to have it.

Not to mention the convenience of having it instantly. I understand the quality may be lower, you may rather watch it on the big screen instead of the Xoom, etc. But as far as price goes... you aren't paying $1 more overall.

That being said - I'm with you. I'd kill to have the Netflix app working on my Xoom.

May not be available on Wifi Xooms

Is that what it is? I can't see it on my Wifi Xoom either. Lame.

 

[huzz]

I see it fine :O)

yep. Google confirmed it's not available on the wifi Xoom. We will getting it in a few weeks. It will also be available for other devices. Wonder if Google had some kind of agreement with Verizon? Don't see why it wouldn't work on the wifi Xoom.
