Netflix on Windows Phone 7 Series
Microsoft’s latest foray into the smartphone OS market is looking bright in some places and few blemishes in others. One big announcement was Netflix’s streaming application running natively on the Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Series.
If it can really push this out when WP7S launches, it’ll have a distinct advantage over the other major players, mainly the iPhone and Android. Neither of the other two can boast Netflix streaming and if Microsoft can do it, it’ll give incentive for people to migrate over to their world. Netflix is a great service for renting movies and their stream-on-demand service has certainly garnered many lovers and supporters as it is now on many standalone systems.
iPhone could use some form of popular streaming right about now. I’d love to stream Hulu or Netflix onto my phone, so if WP7S does it well, it’ll push competition to do the same.
