The only word in regards to the possibility of streaming Netflix motion pictures on Android devices is primarily based on a leak that Netflix place out a job notice to get a developer to develop some thing for Android devices. The problem is the fact that Netflix, based on a Pc Magazine blurb, isn't providing up any much more details.

Will the streaming be obtainable only on the new Android i-pad type of devices, or on newer generations of Android smart phones? There are no answers right now. The Netflix i-pad app released in April, 2010, allowing streaming from its enormous library of films for a monthly fee, so the possibility is there.

The question is how new would smaller devices have to be and what operating system, such as Android 2.2 (Froyo), would be required before the app could be out there to a wider Android population?

According to mashable.com, the interpretation is that the streaming application will be obtainable on smart phones, but reverts to the same job notice and comments that indicate only that a job search is on to get a qualified mobile developer to bring Netflix up to speed with the growing list of competitiors for the i-phone.

The trouble is that many firms that focused only on Apple mobile products and devices are now scrambling to catch up with the news that the i-phone and i-pad now have competition that developed in a relatively short period of time and is growing by leaps and bounds, and Netflix is no exception.

Meanwhile, Motorola and Verizon have been working on a ramos w17 tablet device and with providers for pay television and other streaming services that will make theirs and the other competitive devices from such firms as Dell and Hewlitt Packard highly challenging to the i-pad, even if Apple is getting ready to stream 99 cent television shows.

Netflix has some catching up to do, but is not alone among those firms that focused around the i-devices and got caught in the sudden rush for Android based devices, that is for sure.

Since this application is in the infantile stages, it seems that it will be quite some time before an official and workable Netflix application that allows streaming motion pictures on Android smart phones and future i-pad like devices will be even close to a launch. Netflix may have had success on the Apple platform, but working with the Android platform could mean success in months or delays for some time. Right now, no one knows for sure.

Right now, there are no streaming apps for the Android smart phone that either work or are recommended by the users.
