Why There's Still No Netflix App For Android

Posted by timothy on from the wouldn't-exactly-say-I-was-missing-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Why is there a Netflix app for iOS devices and Windows Phone 7, yet no Netflix support for Android? Well, Netflix has been working on an Android app but has run into a few technical hurdles because Android lacks a universal DRM solution which means that the company has to work with different handset manufacturers separately in order to ensure that the installed DRM protocol meets the requirements laid out by the movie studios."

  1. Why watch movies on your phone? by AnAdventurer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Oh, now I remember, most of you have normal type jobs or go to school and want entertainment for every second you are not in said activity. Me, I can't be bothered to watch a movie touch screen phone during my AK/HI 6 hour long commuter flights.
