Netflix Now Available On Windows Phone 7 Handsets
There's lots of great news in the Netflix camp today. The DVD rental
service is just getting bigger and better, and it's looking like the Blockbuster of the new generation. Now, there's just expansion on the
mind. Netflix has taken over a significant part of America, and the
world is the company's oyster. An announcement today from the company
has informed us that Netflix members in Canada can now instantly watch
thousands of movies and TV shows streamed from Netflix to the TV via the
Xbox 360.
This was one of the major selling points to the new Xbox Dashboard, and now it's available in Canada. All users need is a console, Xbox Live members, and a Netflix membership. All Netflix members will be able to search for TV shows and movies from their Xbox 360, as well.
Perhaps even bigger news is that Netflix will also be coming to Windows Phone 7, a phone platform that has yet to properly launch in America. Users in both America and Canada will be able to stream Netflix content right to their Windows Phone 7 devices, and it's available now in the Marketplace for no charge. Nice to share the love, Netflix! The full announcement is below.
