Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Android users, rejoice: Netflix is finally available — at least on select devices. U.S. Netflix users who have an HTC Incredible, Nexus One, Evo 4G, HTC G2 or Nexus S can download the app from the Android Market and watch TV shows and movies over 3G or Wi-Fi. Why is the app only available on a smattering of Android smartphones? On the official Netflix blog , Roma De from the product team says that a lack of “standard streaming playback features” is a challenge for bringing Netflix to more devices. De says that Netflix is “aggressively qualifying phones” and expects that the app will work on a large majority of Android phones in the next few months. Last November, Netflix cited concerns over the lack of standardized DRM and content protection mechanisms for the delay in bringing Netflix to Android. It’s always possible that future Android OS software releases could make the process less complex by standardizing various protocols and policies. As for the app itself , we haven’t been able to test it, but the screenshots look like it packs in all the features as its iOS and Windows Phone 7 counterparts. That includes access to browsing by genre, title and access to a user’s Watch Instantly queue. via Engadget More About: android , Android apps , netflix For more Mobile coverage: Follow Mfarhanonline Mobile on Twitter Become a Fan on Facebook Subscribe to the Mobile channel Download our free apps for Android , Mac , iPhone and iPad Social Media reviews series maintain by Mayya
