Android Users have been waiting for Netflix to come out with a App. According to Netflixs Android App is almost ready and will be in the Android Market today for a limited group of devices. Samsung Cell Phones and and HTC Phones are getting first dibs as the roll out will be phone by phone

Netflix has also made a list of supported devices. They have said that the list will expand fast.
1. HTC Droid Incredible with Android 2.2
2. HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
3. HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
4. HTC G2 with Android 2.2
5. Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3.

Because the platform has evolved so rapidly, there are some significant challenges associated with developing a streaming video application for this ecosystem. One of these challenges is the lack of standard streaming playback features that the Netflix application can use to gain broad penetration across all available Android phones. In the absence of standardization, we have to test each individual handset and launch only on those that can support playback. We are aggressively qualifying phones and look forward to expanding the list of phones on which the Netflix app will be supported.

Netflix has 23 million plus members in the United States and Canada, Netflix, Inc. They are the largest Internet subscription on demand service for enjoying movies and TV shows. Members can instantly watch unlimited movies and TV episodes streamed over the Internet to PCs, Macs and TVs.

Among the large and expanding base of devices streaming from Netflix are Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s PS3 consoles; an array of Blu-ray disc players, Internet-connected TVs, home theater systems, digital video recorders and Internet video players; Apple’s iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, as well as Apple TV and Google TV.

The Movie On Smarphone Race Heats Up As Verizon Adds Crackle

Netflix, and Blackbuster have been in the news more than any other Movie Providers, as far as cell phone movies go anyway. Blockbuster manage to launch their Android Movie App during summer 2010 as Netflix floundered with Android, but pushed ahead on iPhone.

We have apps to watch shows, and Youtube too, but the content is short and not for everyone. CBS and others provide content, but is still lacking.

Verizon has had content through in house service VCast, but August 31, 2010 they took Movie Content a step forward with Crackle. It's a multi-platform premium video entertainment network from Sony Pictures Television.

Is a premium service like Vcast worth it? For now the answer appears to yes if you like good movies. Along with regular VCast programing Crackle adds things like A Jack Nicholson Collection, Origonal in house programing, and lots of content others just don't have.

When most of us think about shows and movies online and smartphones we think when will Hulu and the others save us with free apps connected to existing accounts. The providers have all said they are working on it.

A Crackle Movies premium subscription is available to customers for $5.99 per month in addition to the $10 monthly subscription for V CAST Video on Demand. There are no megabyte charges to download, stream or watch V CAST content with any V CAST subscription; however, customers must subscribe to a data package for a data usage allowance. For more information about V CAST Video, including how to subscribe, visit Verizon Wireless.
