"We're also glad that it comes with a built-in Netflix app"
http://ces.cnet.com/8301-32254_1-20027663-283.html
anyone else catch this little golden nugget in reference to hands on with the LG Revolution and see it on the video. they did not say if its a streaming app or the one from the market that only lets you manage your queue but i doubt they would release a phone with an unofficial 3rd party app pre-installed on it.

"Netflix, the popular video streaming and online movie rental service, not only has iPhone apps, Android apps and allows consumers access to their rentals via online access, but now the company is apparently taking over remote controls as well."
gotta get that apk!
NAOOOOO!!!!

Have you read the reviews? Tons of one stars. Ill wait.
The netflix app isn't out yet. I think its going to come pre installed on that phone, and the app should be in. the market by the time the phone comes out. And that app in the market now isn't made by netflix.

Exactly. It's not the official app.
BTW the Thunderbolt RUU leaked and maybe a dev can look in the ROM file and pull the apk if it exists in that phone.
Netflix for Android App is Confirmed in Verizon LG Revolution Demo
Netflix for Android App is Confirmed in Verizon LG Revolution Demo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ymDAuyiMds
The long-rumored Netflix app for Android is confirmed in the following Verizon LG Revolution 4G demo as being pre-installed on the just-announced phone (expected in the next few months).
Due to DRM issues, the Netflix app will not be released on all phones, and Netflix has not confirmed the phones that will get the Android app yet.
via AndroidCentral. Thanks to FearNo1, Steve and Kevin for sending this in.
well if not all phones now, but soon google did buy the DRM company that netflix uses or something to that extent
lets hope for a rru leak for the LG Revolution
If it's as good as the Netflix app that the iPhone uses then we will be in good shape!

Most likely it won't be as good. The iPhone apps tend to be better than the Android version.
Even if the apk is in the ruu for a different phone, will it even work on the Evo?

It should. They may need to tweak it like they did the NFL verizon app.

It probably has a bunch of deep DRM stuff in the ROM. I don't think it will be as simple as inserting DB file into a system folder.

Wobderous.
I didn't have to force just clicked install and it replaced old one.
15 minutes tryout totally sucks.
It will just lead to more piracy.
It should have been at least an hour..., who is the idiot making these decisions at Google...?
wow, I opened the market and it was the new one right off the bat! Question though: wasn't it supposed to have video previews? I haven't seen an app that has it yet.
How do I force-update?

So basically its only for newer devices with official froyo release?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
there is no official Froyo release for the US market.
But you do have to have an unoficial Froyo on the phone, yes.
Here is the apk available from androidspin (it works OK for me, but no guarantees).
what is the word on neflix on android???
If you used the fancy-shmancy search feature, you would find that the Netflix app only works on like two phones right now, mT4G not included.
Why hasnt Netflix created an app for Android? Is it because of Silverlight?

Because its a different media platform. You need to have the rights from the movie owners or its stealing.

I know that already. What I dont understand is that the iPhone and WM7 have the netflix app already, but nothing for android.
Netflix is limiting their product to only those platforms and not seeing that is being left out from the #1 OS in the market now, Android.

It has to do with Security and Linux. It's to easy for us to download the movies as they are being played. it has to do with the Chip Set they are using.
i cant wait till this finally works
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/netflix-releases-android-app-for-select-htc-phones-samsung-nexu/
It's only for select phones for the time being, but hopefully the devs can make this happen.
im sure it will work on cm7 im downloading the app as we speak
I literally came here seconds after seeing Nexus S and not any of the Galaxy S devices listed.

versedout,
Thank you for this bit of information. This is what all Android users have been waiting for. I am completeley stoked, but it's bitter sweet at the same time. I really love my Vibrant and really don't want to have to get another phone so that I could enjoy the nectur of the gods. I can only hope, no wait, I KNOW that one of the Devs will get this up and running for all phonesnot just: "The app has just hit the Android Market and is apparently available for the HTC Incredible, Nexus One, Evo 4G, and G2, plus the Samsung Nexus S. "

No need for an apk when there is an online Android Market. Here is the link to the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
apk - http://www.multiupload.com/NPZ062QIZB via Gizmodo.
Of course I installed it and it gave me "Netflix is not supoorted on this device..." but it does load up the startup screen.

A friend has downloaded it to his EVO 4G and the thing works flawlessly....Just pissed that they didn't make it for the Galaxy S/Vibrant.....just have to wait I guess (come on guys work your magic....Devs that is)
well its a no go changed my build.prop strait from cm7 for nexus s and its a no go lets me log in and check movies and such but wont play ill reinstall and see if its different
i get nothing but a blank screen then fc on cm7 with bilboa's kernel, tried installing the app twice with the same result.
grabbed apk from the HTC forum, not working on vibrant with TW 2.2 rom
Definitely what I was waiting for, I get alot of downtime at work. Netflix on my phone would be quite amazing...

Not supported on SGH-T959 with Bionix 1.3.1.
Stay classy Android fragmentation.
thought i had read a while back that netflix was only able to make a licensing deal for android if the supported device had hardware based drm to prevent piracy
Got the app on my G2 and its the same as my itouch. What I don't understand is why does it need DRM protected when you need an netflix account to use it.

Just noticed,
The new updated Facebook app (V 1.6) is no longer compatible with the Xoom. I.e. if you don't have FB or if you've uninstallrd it, ouch!

I think they are trying to push tablets back to the unified touch website interface. The only thing that sucks with that is you can 'send to facebook' and sync contacts.
Know of any other apps that handle just that?

Rumor has it that Facebook will release an app for tablets.

they broke FB for tablets before- you'd think they'd learned not to break stuff now...
Friendme is far superior
Friend me has no functional use without ability to go to each friends stuff or find things the way you do on the web. It needs way more work.

Install it on any other device then move it via astro backup or something. I did that and it works fine.
I use Friendcaster... not the tab optimized version though because it lacks a lot of functionality. Does look pretty however.
I just installed the 1.6 update on the Xoom and it force closes when you try to search. It's defiantly not made for the Xoom. Here is the APK if anybody wants to try it.

I suspect this has to do with the fact that good Android devs are hard to find; good Android devs with Honeycomb experience are nearly impossible to find.

Eh... I have it on my phone too but am perfectly fine with the market on the Xoom. Its geared towards tablets, thats fine by me.
The Honeycomb market app kinda feels like unfinished business tho. I wonder why after all these months we still can't rate or comment to apps. For tablet-only apps it means feedback ends up limited to people installig through web-based push-to-device, or taking the time to log back through a web browser to comment and rate.
Some people did manually install that new market app on their tablet, but the UI is clearly not optimized for it.
