Netflix app to arrive on Qualcomm phones first?

Netflix, the premiere online movie service has still yet to make its official debut on the Android operating system, due to security concerns. The folks over at Android and Me spoke to a Qualcomm representative about Netflix at CES and learnt something new: Qualcomm has been working with Netflix to get the approval to have Netflix pre-loaded with their future Qualcomm devices. Here’s what the representative had to say, “We have been working with Netflix to bring their service for the first time to Android phones. Because of our ability to have very sophisticated SecureMSM and all kinds of layers of security we have been able to get Netflix approval. We meet all of the very stringent security requirements of the studios and we have been working with an OEM to have Netflix come pre-loaded.” While it wasn’t mentioned when or what handsets will come preloaded with the Netflix app, you can expect it to arrive on HTC devices since they have been heavily invested in by Qualcomm. Hopefully we’ll find out more at the Mobile World Congress in February.
