Netflix for Android app leaked, some features work

Android fans may be excited to learn that a working .APK file of Netflix for Android is now available, although streaming movies will not work.

The leaks comes via the upcoming LG Revolution smartphone, which had its software dumped.



Netflix will be available to select Android 2.2+ phones in the future, but the company has not confirmed which devices.

For now, anyone with 2.2 can try the APK, which will let you login and manage you queue. Trying to stream will get you hit with an error code.

It is unclear why the error code exists, but most have speculated that the official app will require some DRM check to work.

You can get the app here: Netflix.apk

  Good news... but if it doesn't stream, then maybe I'm missing something?
  

  Unfortunately for them, all Blu-ray protections have been broken and BD rips can be found around the Internet, usually before the retail even hits shelves.
