Android's explosion in gaining market share in such a short period of time is doing a lot of good for the open platform – especially when you look at app development. Easily one of the most sought out apps for Android has to be something like the iPad's Netflix app which enables users to stream titles directly to their device. Early in the week we were presented with some good news regarding the possibility of an Android app coming to fruition, but now we're getting a little bit more confirmation regarding the matter. There was a Netflix employee who confirmed that the company is in the process of hiring Android developers which will enable users to stream Watch Instantly content on Android smartphones. The employee said, “With the way Android is blowing up it would be stupid of us to ignore that.” Quite a telling and truthful statement to say the least, but it really does justify the rapid development – so hopefully we see something happen sooner rather than later.

I'll become a Netflix subscriber when this comes to fruition. Watching the Stream Now content on my Evo will be worth the monthly fee.

uhhh, for 8 or 9 bucks a month you get unlimited video streaming at home. IMO i think that alone is worth it... let alone enetually being able to bang it out on your phone

It's not worth it when I am at home just long enough to eat and sleep.

then you need to figure out how to make some $$ when youre out.

I work for Sprint, have my own business, and am a professional wrestler, I would be wasting my money if I got Netflix right now. Don't make assumptions herbie. When you do you make yourself an ass.

Wow...all of that and you still find time to visit Phonearena.com. I own 3 businesses, work for Boost Mobile, am a professional drummer, tour the UK 11 months out the year, work full time at Apple, work assembly line for HTC, design Android apps in my spare time and i work security for Obama on the weekends....yet i still find time for my Netflix account

Yeah, I have netflix, but I hardly ever use it. Nothing wrong with the service, no time. I check Phonearena at work, when I can't technically do anything else.

I'm guessing JPrice has cable at home and spends over $100 bucks for it a month. When alls he would need to do is have internet and spend only $9 a month for unlimited streaming. what a dwight...

Actually, I don't have cable as I see no need to put out money for somehting I would not use. Again, I am only home long enough to eat, sleep, and shower. Between the many ventures I have going on, I am home and awake 7 hours a week.
