Netflix Update Working on More Devices than Advertised

The latest update for the Android Netflix app brought about support for a few new handsets, but it turns out more than those listed can take advantage of the new APK. It appears that Netflix has lifted the device check that was preventing the app from installing on nearly all handsets, and the application has been found to run on many more handsets than those listed in the Android Market description. The Droid X2 and Xperia Play are streaming video just fine, though the Motorola XOOM and non-rooted Thunderbolt aren’t having quite the same luck. Things seem pretty hit or miss, but you might just luck out with your Android handset. You’ll have to install the APK from outside the Android Market, you can grab the download over at the source below.
