Netflix Coming to Android

Android devices have not, up to this point, had the Netflix app that iPhone, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 devices have had.

The hurdle has been the lack of a generic and complete platform security and content protection mechanism available for Android. The same security issues that have led to piracy concerns on the Android platform have made it difficult for Netflix to secure a common Digital Rights Management system on these devices.

Since Netflix has work on a device-by-device basis, Netflix says it soon will be releasing an app for at least some Android devices.
