how long will it be before we can use Netflix on PCLOS? 

I know there are detractors in the forum due to the previous activities of the company, but all that aside Android has it can we?

Since Android is basically Linux, should be rather simple to port to any Linux, if it's open source, that is. 

If not, you'll have to wait on Netflix to release one for PCLOS, which isn't likely to happen.  Remember that those tablets are not x86 processors.

Pretty much my exact thoughts so far Chief. 

That's why I was curious if any of our stellar ripper crew had this in the works!

Works great on my Atrix2 phone w/ android.

I came across this article, written in July. It says maybe 12 months. I think they've been saying that for a while now though.

My youngest daughter got a Nook Tablet from her hubby for Christmas, and I'm sure she would love to get the Netflix app on it, since they already have a Netflix account.

The thing seems pretty impressive - at least in the few minutes she let me play with it while side loading a few dozen books from my library for her.
