Netflix not yet compatible with Thunderbolt?! Rage.

[VideoEngineerAJS]

i hate this. The thunderbolt is supposed to be the top of the line right now and nothing works for it.

simple stuff.

now i have a co worker with an EVO busting my chops.

this sucks.

Well the EVO has been out longer. I believe we will get it and it'll probably run really well on the Thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt has been out for a whole two months dude. Not everything is going to be compatible that soon.

Yes, but it should work regardless of the phone. Especially the phone that's brand new with more than enough power to handle the app.

anyone notice that it's phones all from different carriers?
dInc=verizon
Evo=sprint
NexusS=Sprint
G2=Tmobile
NexusOne= um...it's unlocked--who has this?

right? or am i mistaken...
it's like they're calming everyone's fears that Netflix would be carrier specific.

maybe it's just giving each network a test to see if it laidens their load considerably.

either way, 4 out of 5 phones are HTC. that's gotta be a good feeling for them.

I'd say it will be out for the TB within a month, if not sooner. We already know it installs, and at least starts playing with no problems (before they dropped the axe). They just need to flip the switch. They probably want to hash out bandwidth, before they unleash it on a real 4G network.

 

[project.in.process]

agreed.

isn't this a little suspicious---releasing it the day after Google announces
youtube.com/movies
and
android market movie rentals?

looks like Netflix finally realized they weren't the only game in town. sooo many comments about people ditching Netflix if Google had a subscription service in the works.

****ing works on my gfs incredible. The leaked apk from a month ago still doesn't work. I also pulled the apk from the inc and tried to install it. Almost plays...

Well it makes more sense for Netflix to have it working first on the older phones, which in turn means more installs for them.

Yes and no, those phones are reaching end of life. In fact the Incredible is EoL and has been replaced, so you'd imagine they'd focus their efforts on the Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt rather than a product they no longer produce.

You have real 4G.

No problem here, I use my laptop, my desktop, or my 55' flat HD tv to watch movies.

Panda tweeted that the 'bolt would get Netflix. All androids released this year would.

No worries.

 

[stearic]

We know it'll get it, it's more that we are pissed it wasn't on the list of initial devices to get it. Sucks big time that it doesn't work.

 

[SanxDiegoxSand]

At least now its probable

You'd think. But the lack of a platform standard for streaming DRM protected content means that an app on one phone can't work on another. Don't blame Netflix, blame Google.

I'll admit, being able to watch a movie or a T.V. show with the mobile device here and there would be nice.

But I've never understood why some people are so hell bent on watching movies on a tiny screen...
