Green and Red Working Together


It's taken nearly a year, but the popular online movie streaming service is finally available for some Android devices.

Who doesn't love Netflix Instant?  It's been a huge success on Xbox Live, giving users the ability to stream movies and television shows on their television screens directly through their Xbox 360s.  The iOS app was added back in October, giving users with iPads and iPhones the ability to stream content anywhere.

This week marked the first time that Netflix has been made available for Android devices, now working freely on some Android smartphones.  The move is a highly desired one, especially as Android tablets have been increasing in popularity.

So, if you're an Android user, what are you waiting for?

Well, your wait might be a bit longer than you'd prefer, as currently the app is only available for the Samsung Nexus S, Evo 4G, Droid Incredible, T-Mobile G2 or Nexus One.  However, we're being told that the Netflix app will hit all Android markets in the near future.

Of the future possible release, Netflix released the following:

 

The Market download will initially be available only on select phones that currently have the requisite playback support. We expect to quickly add to the number of phones that can download from Android Market as we work with ecosystem partners to expand playback support.
