Netflix Now Running on Android

The long awaited Netflix app is now on some Android devices. It looks like Netflix decided to allow only certain Android smartphones and tablets to run the app. There has been online buzz that some Android users have been able to get the app to work on unsupported hardware. It a nice addition for those with tablets to be able to get their Netflix fix.

The previous stand from Netflix on Android was a concern for copyright protection. That might be a reason that they app is running on selected hardware, It could also be that Netflix wants to make sure the app runs correctly and the more hardware it's on the more chance of getting customer service calls.

What ever the reason for the limited release of the app it's a great step forward for the Android community.
