Netflix on optimus v android phone

Posted on May 14, 2011 by CHESSNOID in Android, Free Apps, Netflix, gadgets | 0 Comments

So I just heard about the netflix app available for streaming movies on certain android phones.  I think that is cool, but honestly the screen is too tiny to enjoy a movie.  I know from experience when I tried streaming netflix videos on my ipod touch.  It is cool to be able to do it, but not really practical.

Obviously,  the many smart techies out there have figured out how to install netflix to work on any android phone.  If you want it, then all you have to do is install a file on to your sd card via your computer and it is done. No rooting required.  You might have to play around with the different versions depending on your phone.  It might be a hit or  miss on your phone.
