Honestly, I would really like Netflix to first fix Linux Desktops... then move to Linux-based handsets... but I guess I'm dreaming now. I still have to use my Blu-Ray player and Wii at home to Stream Netflix's instant play even though my computer is all setup HDMI to my TV because of the lack of Linux support

I fail to see why it wouldn't work on NITDroid. Though it might lag as the HW acceleration isn't fully functioning yet, IIRC.

However... Android (should be) Android (should be) Android...
What works on one should work on all the rest... that's the whole point to Android..
