First of all, it isn't Netflix not supporting the Epic and its not Samsung denying Netflix support. It is 2.2 not supporting the hummingbird drm good enough for Netflix.
It is not the epic 4g, it is hummingbird based devices on the 2.2 kernal. Our cm7 isnt built on gingerbread source. It is still on 2.2.1 source. The reason that you need 2.3 because it has better hardware support for the hummingbird processor due to the fist flagship device to have a hummingbird was on 2.3 release not 2.2 release. Also, our software DRM that Samsung gave us in our 2.1 and 2.2 based ROMs sucks/is unable to support Netflix web streaming.
It is kernal drm enhancements for hummingbird in 2.3 that cause Netflix to work. No, we can't port this over to 2.2.1.
Please don't make any more Netflix related threads!

Cm7 is ONLY 2.3. Idk where you got an idea like that. It's aosp and has nothing to do with sprintsung ROMs. 2.2 is cm6.

No need for the cruel comments.. he got excited is all.
Froyo has been available publicly for a while. If you want it on your Evo there are development roms, and I suggest you check this one out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729367
That is when froyo was released to developers. HTC still has to skin it before we will get the official release.

Big differenced I had the evo for almost a year, the samsung nexus s for a month and the epic and cm7 blows anything out of the water, they are some bugs hre and there but really cm7 has a lot work done that you won't believe from cuztomizing lock screen to take prmission from apps and such, from modifying power control widgets on the drop bar menu to themes, I think google should have done that first, cyanogen has done a lot of work and best of all is free, I donated a few times already they deserve the recognition

If only I knew. I was just clarifying that it's not 30 days. It's SUPPOSED to be immediate. Just because they're not happy with it is no excuse to hold back the code.
DCRocks said:

Google wrote a lot of the code for HC, and has been able to get around releasing the code because it's still a work in progress (it came out around March and is already on 3.1).
Also the main reason (or at least the reason they've given) for not releasing complete source code (kernel source is available) is to avoid cheap knock off tablets that run underwhelming hardware flooding the market and destroying the Honeycomb reputation before it even has one.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/2...osphere-comparisons-to-other-devices-as-well/
This means Stratosphere will come out soon. That will help us on MIUI and CM7 etc, because it's kernel source will help us.
Also, same specs as epic.
Same CPU and gpu combo? If that even matter

I think that's just a software limitation and it could be fixed by modifying the kernel settings.
For example, when I had my HD2 with stock Windows Mobile 6.5, the maximum recording resolution I managed to get was ~ 640x480 .
with hacked Android 2.3 installed (Ported from the Desire) it jumped to 800x600!.
with hacked Windows Phone 7 (Ported from the HD7) it jumped to 1280×720!!!.
