Netflix unleashes Android app into the Market, select devices only

Sponsored links, if any, appear in green.

It appears that the LG Revolution will not be the first Android device blessed with a Netflix app, as Netflix itself has announced the availability of an official app in the Android Market.

The app allows streaming of content over 3G or Wi-Fi connections, and will even resume playback where you left off on your computer or other device. You can also manage your queue and browse movies directly from your phone.

It is only compatible with select phones though, so not everyone will be able to get in on the fun. Owners of the HTC Incredible, HTC Nexus One, HTC Evo 4G, HTC G2, and Samsung Nexus S can download and install the app right now. Interestingly enough, there is no support for Android tablets as of yet. Netflix claims that it is working on expanding the number of devices that the app is compatible with.

Users with compatible phones can head over to the Android Market now to download and install the app. Netflix for Android is free, though it requires a monthly Netflix subscription. [Netflix via Engadget]
