[Update] Netflix Ups Its Official Device Support List

Update: It looks like it was Netflix’s bad. They went and updated the device list, but forgot to add the new APK. Crazy kids these day’s. The application is now updated to version 1.3.0 and not only includes support for the devices listed, but I have also heard it is now working on other devices and some Honeycomb tablets as well. Androidpolice report the following – “We’re already getting reports that it is working on the Motorola XOOM, with intermittent problems on the Asus Eee Pad Transformer and the Acer Iconia Tab A500. ”

If you have been impatiently waiting for the announcement that your device is supported finally on Netflix, the wait might be over. It seems that the application in the market was very quietly updated on June 15th. Not the app really, just the description. Check out recently updated list and see if you can find your device –

• HTC Doubleshot
• HTC Droid Incredible
• HTC Droid Incredible 2
• HTC EVO
• HTC EVO 3D
• HTC G2
• HTC Thunderbolt
• Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet
• LG Revolution
• Motorola Atrix

• Motorola Droid X
• Motorola Droid X2

• Motorola Droid 3
• Motorola Droid Bionic
• Samsung Droid Charge
• Samsung Epic 4G
• Samsung Galaxy S
• Samsung Galaxy S 4G
• Samsung Fascinate
• Samsung Nexus S
• Samsung Nexus S 4G

Apparently these devices were supported the entire time. Netflix just didn’t let anyone know that it worked. Most likely to not over load themselves to much. Kinda like on, what I call, Red Sunday. A few days ago when many of us lost service entirely for the better part of a day. I recommend looking in the market for the app even if your device is not listed. If you see it, download it and give it a shot. The worse that could happen is it doesn’t work. You might be pleasantly surprised to see it load and play just fine though. If you do, please let us know what device you are using and if you are stock or rooted.
