Anyone else heard of this working? Or can anyone confirm?

Here's the link:

Netflix works on froyo!!!!

I'm wondering if this means it works on the Droid, but not phones like the TP2 that run XDAndroid?

It works on phones that natively have Android. Our port, while it is 'native' in the sense that it's not emulating Android, it is not the same experience you would have on a native Android device - IE a device made for Android. While our port is a good representation, there's still some issues. Video codecs are one of them... our screens are pretty high res, and it seems that either our processor can't handle the full resolution for videos, or we don't have libraries that utilize the processor properly. Several devs have tried to push the libs to their limits, and got some improvement... but no one was able to get videos to play at full 480x800 IIRC.

Re: Netflix Streaming

Yeah I figured it was native Android only.
