All Signs Point to Netflix Heading to Android
Netflix is already available on Apple's iPad and seems right at home on a handheld tablet. Will Android owners be next? It's certainly looking that way.
According to a recent Netflix job posting, the online movie rental/streaming service is looking for an engineer to help "build Instant Streaming client implementations on Android devices." There's no mention of whether that includes Android tablets, smartphones, or both, but it's at least clear that Netflix is headed to Google's open-source OS.
"That job is posted but we're not commenting beyond that," a Netflix spokesman said.
Those interested must have "10+ years of relevant software development experience" and "have implemented video playback on Android-based devices" before.
