It will probably happen on windows mobile first because Netflix uses silverlight to steam its content on PC's, they also have a history of giving Microsoft the first shot at streaming rights.
Windows Phone 7 has had it since release. It's not on android yet due to all the security flaws in androids coding. There would be apps to download movies from netflix within days and that goes against netflix terms of use.
Well they have a non-working app at the moment so it should be right around the corner. All you can do is manage your queue at the moment.

Has anyone heard any new news on the possibility of a Netflix app that streams video on Android? I don't know about you guys but I really really want it! Are there still issues with security and whatnot?
Just curious if anyone has heard anything. They need to get this done!
Still just hearing more about security crap..

Ya, started watching Scrubs from the beginning last night and it'd be awesome if I could pick up where I left off and watch it on breaks and lunch on my phone while I'm at work. Could kill like a season a day lol
I'm assuming this will be a super noob question as no one ever asks but going to ask anyway.
Why is the Hulu fix/hack/edit any diff than this? So long as we can fool a browser into think it's a full desktop, why couldn't we stream through that instead of depending on an app to do it? #flamejacketon

I can't give a definite answer but I would assume that any content would run smoother/better through the app then a hacked browser.

IIRC, I believe it's because Netflix streams over the web via Silverlight not Flash. It's easy to hack flash and fool it, but Silverlight is a different story.

this.
Besides, this same thread has been posted countless times, a simple search would've shown that. We are waiting for it to be released by Netflix, as our processor has the necessary security needed for the app to be released.
I do believe though, that we will have to wait until the LG Revolution is released to the public before we can get the app, as I suspect LG and Netflix have an exclusivity deal going, so LG can sell some phones.
Then again, I may be and have been wrong.

I had noticed the last flick I streamed on my laptop used Silverlight, (as far as I knew that was new) but definitely makes sense. Flash is hackable, SL is not.. Got it, thanks.

Netflix on android won't be using silverlight though. It could use Moonlight http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight, but support for that on linux is far worse than flash and would probably be even more of a battery killer, so I'm guessing they will port whatever they use for iOS on the iphone/ipad to android.
There's no way the iphone version of netflix (which has been out for a while) uses silverlight (jobs would never allow that), so I am guessing they will probably just use the same libraries for android that they have for iOS and create a wrapper around that with java to create an executable.

Netflix has always used silverlight, at least as far as I have known. And yareally
is probably right about how they are going to go about it.
The main reason why Winmo 7 had/has so fast netflix is because of silverlight and the native ability (I believe) for it to run on winmo.
Is anyone working on a Sirius Satalite radio app for Canada and the US, or possibly an upgrade for the SiriusWM5/6 app? And hopefully it works on all win7 phones.
I agree
however because there is no multitasking it would be hard to stream the app i believe. once mango is in place maybe itll be a possibility, but im just guessing. I had the music shark app (which disappeared from the marketplace) and every time I left the app it would stop playing. for now im using a sirius stilletto. I wrote the geekstoolbox forum on a wp7 app but they never responded
I'll happily look at writing one once mango is out. Until then music based apps are kind of pointless
I use Sat Rad Player, it works great on my Focus and is in the marketplace
I did not find this app in the marketplace

He had to rework the app due to the recent Sirius channel changes I believe. I think he submitted the new one on the 4th or 5th, so we should see it soon. I use it all the time on my phone, its great.
Im not convinced this app exists, can you show us some pictures?

Not sure how to screen shot, but I'm not sure how, or why to convince you. Its on my phone so it definitely exists...on 5/5 he posted saying he was submitting the new one that day.

sorry for doubting you, I see it now, very excited about this! i've searching and searching for awhile to get it anyway but noone has the xap, its almost 10 days later and it still hasn't shown up in the marketplace

No worries....I wish it was currently in the Marketplace as I only have the trial and meant to buy it....but when I went to purchase, it wasn't there. So I cannot listen for very long. Its a great app though, hopefully he gets it up and running with the new changes.
Sat Rad Player is back in the market
Does anyone have any knowledge of where these apps are? Are they in development yet?
You'd think that BofA would be on it, since they're one of the biggest financial institutions on the planet. Zzz.
Netflix..hello? srsly? Where it be?
Bofa has an app just doesnt show in our market u can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110997&highlight=bank+of+America
Netflix is working on an app for honeycomb, no idea when it comes out. I wouldn't hold my breath for it, may take a while.

I'm not sure how much I trust side-loading a banking application from who knows where it came from.
The old BofA app "worked" on honeycomb in that it loaded but was only a small window in a black screen. They just released a much better app but dropped honeycomb support. Their mobile website does everything the app does but isnt the prettiest.
I wouldn't connect to my bank online with anything wireless.
I hate how long it takes these companies to release apps for honeycomb that all ready work on gingerbread.
I think the issue with BoA is because their old app most likely used the IMEI and wifi honeycomb devices don't have it. Maybe they will find another security solution that works for them in the future.
The BofA app is just a Market issue. I grabbed the apk off of one of my other devices side loaded and it works just fine.

I'm planing to buy TF soon, and I can't wait to get it
I'm intrested in one thing I couldn't find anywhere: can i view 2 programs in the same time? Just like in windows. For example on the left side of screen I can write office doc, and on the right side I can PDF files?
No.........................................
But why hasn't anyone thought of doing this? this would be an awesome feature, and we have the real estate to work with in tablet land. Android limitations that can't be overcome even with root access?
Yes.. so if you want to copy something from pdf to your doc, you must constantly switch programs, it is a bit harder but I think google, or someone else would add this feature soon..

Planned release end of Q2 so pretty soon now
Public beta starts in agust
There's an app called OnSkreen which will be implemented directly into OEM rom's which will allow for multi window running of applications. Check out their YouTube videos. Cool stuff, but you'll basically have to buy a tablet with it on there from the start (none exist at the moment).

It's not an APP, it's a special ROM that the company will sell to manufacturers - you can't just install it to your device. The beta will "hopefully" offer this rom to certain devices, but there's no guarantee that our Transformers will get it.

Ih hope that TF is getting it ;D
Is there any developer out there that have plans for making such an app for the phones as well?
I think that he/she would get donations from a lot of people if they started working on it. There are many programs that do not embed a widget option and if someone could make a widget that could scale down programs an ie put to running programs on the screen in vertical mode that would be soooooo niiiiiiice!! On my Galxy SII such an app would be perfect...
Anyone?

The thing is its not really an app but, like stated, a heavily customized OS. It goes back to how these mobile OS'es were devised. Its not windowed because they are assuming you are on a system that wouldn't perform well with multiple active apps and on a small screen where you would need all of the real estate.
There are times when I would wish for it but since apps are cached and not killed (if they are developed properly) its pretty easy to "alt-tab" back and forth between them when needed.
WOWWOWOWO

This for sure will be great on the TF. It will help alot of ppl improving there usability of the transformer for work related stuff.
Cant wait to try this on TF, if it ever gets to platform.
I've been playing with the Surface for about 2 weeks now and I found the lack of apps really doesn't bother me that much honestly... But I was wondering what are some apps you guys can't live without? Also, does anyone know what the time frame is for the BlueStacks app to come out?

Netflix and YouTube RT,a must for me.As for the app you mentioned i have know idea.
Not on RT ever, unless MS changes the restrictions.
See here:
https://getsatisfaction.com/bstk/topics/windows_rt_support
They are considering supporting RT next year, I think if enough people ask it they will have to implement it. Microsoft surely isn't stupid enough to block it either.
My advice is sign up on their forums and keep asking about windows RT, I have.

Actually not true - They have it listed on their Website as in the works as a supported OS. I have tweeted them for an update awhile back but never got a response.

Yea, you definitely should go on their Site cause it says they are looking to do it.. Just no timetable.. I knew that much, just curious if anyone else had any idea when.
