While nothing is set in stone or officially confirmed, a job posting on Netflix's site indicates that the video streaming service is looking for a "great engineer" to help with Android applications. Recently Netflix launched its service on the new iPad, and plans to do the same with [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Apple's [COLOR=blue !important]iPhone[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] and iPod Touch. A version of the video streaming service also also scheduled to hit the Nintendo Wii sometime this Spring.
This latest job position should be good news for consumers who own smartphones based on Google's mobile OS. Currently the only real video streaming service available on the Android Market is Jetflicks, costing an initial $2 for the "gateway" application and a $10 monthly fee for the content. While the quality is favorable, the subscription-based service only offers TV shows including just-aired episodes and those currently in syndication. Unfortunately, Netflix on an Android device could shut down Jetflicks for good.
Netflix Targeting Android Next
I think this is great. Currently have the streaming service for my 360 and it's dynamite. If they decide to let the subscribers who already have it on another platform use it for Android too it would be even better. Any thoughts?
