Hey guys, with the Netflix streaming app being released for the iPod Touch/iPhone (it launched with the iPad), I was happy to see that our buddy Andy wasn't being left out (according to this article at least)...
http://mashable.com/2010/08/07/netflix-android-app/
The newly released application allows for streaming over Wi-Fi as well as 3G, so I don't any reason why we wouldn't receive the same treatment. It looks like coding it just underway (if it has even started yet), so I wouldn't expect this anytime in Q3, but it should be out by year's end (unless Netflix really drags their collective rear-ends).
I was wondering when they would finally get around to letting people stream netflix on there phones. I would like it!
i am sooo looking forward to this app on my vibrant.
I've been waiting since the news flash that Android was the number one mobile OS in the world. About 6 hours later was the announcement on the job market that Netflix was hiring Android programmers. LOL!
I can imagine the poop that hit the fan when they realized that they had put all their eggs in the apple basket and none in the droid basket.
I think they should have aired this commercial long time ago, but heck yea, love the green guy!!!

I agree with you the first sneak peak video seemed kinda weak.
I have to say I'm not a fan of either. The second one is definitely better than the first though. I just feel they could it advertise it in a more exciting way, both commercials are boring for me.
The phone has to still be selling well for them to be advertising it this much still considering its been out since June. I wonder will we ever see any sales numbers on it.
I was just in a Sprint store and they said a lot of stores still have Evos on backorder.

Yay for EVO's everywhere!
Pretty cool.....gadgets galore!!!!!
You know who I wish had a streaming app? The redbox. If you arent familiar with it its like a big red box they sit out in certain stores, mostly walmarts and walgreens here to where you can rent movies for $1. The releases come out wayyyyyy sooner than Netflix gets them.
redbox is ok, i prefer netflix. can't wait for this. i'm surprised someone hasn't hacked an iphone port over yet. (although they might have, i've had my evo for 4 days )
I believe Netflix is keeping people from driving under the influence. Redbox doesn't have seasons of TV shows either. but i do go to redbox for the new releases
Can't wait!
I personally go to redbox for new releases, netflix streaming for odd movies and tv shows, and blockboster if I want to watch an old movie.
I still can't believe blockbuster is even in business. I think it's 4.99 to rent a dvd.
Don't hold your breath folks. Like the Verizon Skype or NFL apps, it's probably going to be carrier specific. Because why make a good product available to everyone, when you can nickel and dime them for features?
never really stopped us before has it

To me thats poor marketing. The I phone for instance was only at at&t it sold alot there but now apple is taking it to verizon too and its gonna double their sales. Why hold something thats capable of making goo bud money to one source. Its great for the people selling the product but the producer is crippling their self. I can understand testing the waters before you dive in so I guess I just made no sense. Lol. Everyone may be dumber for reading this post and I apologize.

While common sense says it's bad, the big media companies are all retarded and do this. It's the same reason you have DRM on media and games, why you have to wait a month to get movies through Netflix or Redbox, why Netflix's online selection is smaller than their DVD selection, and so on.
You might want to read TechDirt for more info.
Netflix would be good, right now I have hulu getting me by.

Looks like the corporations may finally be catching up with the xda devs. Not really. They're just starting to get their heads out of their collective booties.

I dumped my Netflix account a while ago once they raised the price as I hardly used it. If they finally get out an android app for mobile streaming I may just reactivate. Looking more forward to an official Hulu app.

same here with netflix
I couldnt care less about netfliz coming to android as i have it on my ipod touch and i tether to my epic all the time. As for hulu the ios version apparently you have to pay for a subscription, kinda sucks, ill just use the free hulu apk on here,
However netflix would look nice on my 4inch SAMOLED Screen compared to the much smaller ipod touch retina...
I honestly can't wait for either of these apps as I have subscriptions to both. I use HULU for Family Guy, Bones, Greys Anatomy etc. I use Netflix for movies and Spartacus. AWESOME!
If were gonna get Netflix on our Epics, it's gonna have to be a hacked version as they don't plan on releasing it to the Android market. It will be part of the carrier crapware on second gen Snapdragon devices. It's pre-installed on the LG Revolution, at least it was on one a CES. They believe that the fragmentation of Android makes it too difficult to implement a DRM solution across all devices.

There was talk about Netflix back in November from some netflix boss. "Early next year" was what it said I think. Still not here seems to be a common theme....
Would sure be nice to have though.
I have total faith in our dev teams to port this ASAP. Heck! They could probably even prove their fears to be reality. Just saying...

Netflix would be awesome!
Netflix confirmed that they would develop for Snapdragon first. Another black eye for Galaxy S phones. Not that Samsung would even want Netflix competing with MediaHub, anyway.
I got rid of them also when they raised prices. I bought a Slingbox pro and got the sling player app and man I can't believe it took me this long to get this. It is pretty awesome and works very good even on 3g. I wonder if netflix will work well on 3g, but unless they start getting better releases you can stream it was a waste for me. With 4 HD DVR's from Directv and expanded storage on them all with Multi-room viewing the sling box and sling player is just amazing. Oops this is not a slingbox Dtv thread sorry
I'm definitely looking forward to Netflix on Android.
Looking forward to netflix, but there is no hurry like i said earlier, cause i stream it from my phone to my ip0d touch (wireless tether).
As for hulu app, i dont want to pay for hulu plus like the ipod touch version, glad there is the free mod in the development section.
Bet they both require 2.2.1 or 2.3

That shouldn't be a problem if you have dk28 installed.
Btw about nextflix, I think I heard something about it coming in the spring like around end of april or something. Not sure about that though.
I dont really care for hulu, but netflix would be interesting to see because I have an account set up for it.

Thank you for reminding me that it existed.
For those interested in streaming, I bought a Roku (you can get as cheap as $59.00), and I stream that through another port on my slingbox. So I have my DirecTV box and my Roku both streaming to my Android.
I am considering getting a Hulu subscription, then I can stream movies and Hulu from my phone (plus can play them on my PS3 and Wii).
Thanks for confirming. I thought I was delusional about the price change. I still love Netflix. I was thinking about it the other night. I don't have cable tv. I use Hulu for free, Netflix for streams as well as other websites. But I was thinking I could illegally download certain tv eps. Though it's really nice to just know they're there. Just as I was talking to my girlfriend yesterday because we've been having financial issues and I said how much do you think you spend average on Redbox. She says about 20. I said well lets get Netflix switched back on. It has been canceled currently because my debit was stolen. Really sucked. Carry zipped and chained wallets!
+1 on Netflix and Hulu
It always cracks me up to read about "Netflix not on Android yet" with the 2-3 NETFLIX ADs on every page, all over the xda Forums. like a little twist of the NetFlix Knife
I for one use netflix all the time. I watch it while im at work during downtime. and on the road would be great especially for road trips. the streaming is amazing on home pc or through the ps3. can you imagine this on out phone and even the tabs?
I haven't seen many advertisements for this phone yet but this one is awesome

They are running a terrific commercial for BoomSound. Here it is in German. It's basically a bunch of live music being played in the opposite direction of the listener and the commercial ends with "you don't listen to music facing the other way, with BoomSound speakers on the front you no longer have to." It's quite clever.
I have seen a couple of advertising poster thingies in Manchester. Next time I'll take a pic.

There have been a couple adverts here in the UK. On various different tv channels. Also the uefa champions league and uefa europa league is a huge marketing investment by htc. The htc one billboards are shown during some parts of every single match.

htc one at mtv movie awards
i also saw them sponsoring the mtv movie awards.. they are showing the movies using htc one.. i think that is great advertising.. :good:
I have seen commercials for the One quite a few time. It's pretty good actually.
Not that I want mine, but HTC should be flooding the market with the HTC one before the release of the S4. Wish they would release the one early!
theres a lot of advertising at the soccer games in europe and stuff.
I see it on tv against madrid or whatever is on foxsports.
True story, they are one of the main sponsors for the champions league .

Just saw that one on tv a few minutes ago.
yep just saw the ad on tbs i think or tnt!
They need to make an ad for the Zoe feature. Market it as your gallery is "like Harry Potter". I've talked to several people and that's what they think of it as and they think it's "so cool."

In Singapore, they use Cabs to advertise the HTC One. I've seen cabs encased with HTC One advertising wallpaper.
We have zero advertisements for HTC One in Lebanon
HTC if you read me,please do something for Lebanon
I am pretty sure it wil sell much more than SGS4 if they advertise it just a little on TV,billboards and newspaper
