Netflix yesterday rolled out an Android version of its smartphone app. The download is free but only works with a select group of Android devices.
According to a post on the company’s site, the Netflix app runs on the following phones: HTC Incredible (Android 2.2), HTC Nexus One (Android 2.2, 2.3), HTC Evo 4G (Android 2.2), HTC G2 (Android 2.2) and Samsung Nexus S (Android 2.3).
Similar to the Netflix app for iOS and Windows Phone 7, the new app will allow Netflix subscribers to stream movies directly to their phones over Wi-Fi or 3G.
In recent months, Netflix has expanded its streaming service via applications that run on a variety of devices. The company now streams content to everything from game consoles to Internet-connected TVs.
