Netflix today released its streaming video app for select Android phones via the Android Market. The app is only available for a handful of phones that meet strict hardware requirements, including the HTC Incredible, Nexus One, EVO 4G, G2, and Samsung Nexus S. The app supports resuming watching content where you left off watching on your TV or computer. Netflix already offers mobile apps for Apple iOS and Microsoft Windows Phone devices.

Kinda hard to watch Netflix movies on a network that restricts you to an unusable 2GB's/mo. Movies are very data intensive.
...
There have been more announced to come. Be patient.
BTW this is a netflix thing, not a motorola thing. Don't be to quick to jump at your manufacturer.

the article said "including" and then listed some examples. that was by no means an all inclusive list of EVERY phone it works on. read more carefully next time before you flip out. or hell, maybe google it? just saying.

Yet ANOTHER reason to go with Sprint!
Any clue what this FREE application would do to your bill if you had data capped or tiered at 2GB or how your user experience would be compromised if you were throttled after exceeding what you carrier called heavy usage? It's NOT "pretty".
Between steaming Pandora on my car stereo or streaming Netflix to my tv via my EVO by way of HDMI video out my monthly data usage is sick! But this allows my EVO to live up to being the swiss army knife of moviles devices and that's not even addressing everything else that it can do for me when I don't have to watch my data use or worry about high bills or throttling my data speeds.
This is by far one of the more impressive apps since Slingbox and Pandora. Great 1st release!

Where did you go for the app?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Video out , 1GHZ and probally certain amount of ram
i believe it probably has to do a lot with the graphics capability of the phone for video out ,
i am no expert but i just assume that's why the Evo has support for it
anyone else know about other requirements that could be the reason some got skipped?'
sorry for the bad sentences long long day..

I don't get why the LG 2x isn't supported.

I've read about it working on a droid1.
No Galaxy S?
Really? That's nice and all for the other phones, but way to drop the ball on the same phone on 4 different carriers with the same specs as the others and a superior screen. Bravo.
