Not so fast on netflix. As far as I know (and I have a vested interest so I try to stay up-to-date), Netflix doesn't work on Linux nor Android because of silverlight's DRM stack not being available on those platforms.
The rest are good but lack of Netflix support has definitely prevented me from purchasing a product in the past. This is not necessarily a problem that Google can fix right now, but hopefully it expedites Netflix' efforts to do so.
- dchest 15y agoThey said in the keynote that they're working with Netflix, Hulu, etc.
- trotsky 15y agoThere are a number of linux based purpose built solutions that support netflix - boxee box, roku, tivo, etc. The problem isn't whether they can get the tech to work, it's whether netflix will approve the software on a device (is it hardened/locked down enough for their liking and such).
- runjake 15y agoDon't tell me "not so fast on Netflix", I actually watched the keynote. ;)
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoNetflix will be supported via a plugin specifically for it.
