At first I was like OMG, but alas, streaming does not work.

I'm also interested in this, i'll try and find one after my class lets out. There is an app to stream tv shows that I use and it's pretty good, has alot of tv shows. https://market.android.com/details?id=tvshows.kiio.es

Yes I use TV Shows stream as well and its quite awesome although a tad expensive but at least its only a one time fee. Definitely give it a look. Tons of shows to choose from. I use it every day on my tab both with and without my HDMI dock.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome

The tv shows stream app is amazing. The quality of the videos varies but the sheer amount of shows available makes up for it.

I've been doing some research and just looking into it I have the leaked app but not streaming I'm able to move my que and all that good jazz but my question is how exactly is netflix blocking streaming from my Droid and letting streaming on Windows 7 phone and the iPhone...Verizon has both on their network.

DRM in the hardware. The LG Revolution will have NetFlix which supports said DRM. We have the same processor as that phone so hopefully NetFlix adds support for the Thunderbolt.

I was at class all day but I found this link, says it works' for certain devices

As far as I know the leaked netflix app that was announced a few weeks ago doesn't work on the Tbolt.
Oh well. There isn't any other app that I am aware of and I've been an Android girl for over a year now.. So I think you might be out of luck. There is a website though that is java enabled that I use to be able to watch movies through my phone. Hope that eases a bit of the frustration Netflix is causing by not providing an app yet for us
The website name is veetle dot com & I also love LOVE the TV Stream app. That works wonders for me. Hope this helps

Playon works! Had mine working but then my mobile connection broke. Never got to try mobile data to wee how it streams but worked well with WiFi.

Correct, it doesn't work on the TB right now... But it doesn't work on any other phone either at this moment. That's because it is assumed that Netflix hasn't yet "flipped the switch" to turn it on since it's not yet ready for primetime (the .apk itself was prematurely pulled from an upcoming LG ROM dump) and has not yet been 'officially' released from Netflix.
The Bolt has the same processor as the upcoming LG device that is confirmed to support Netflix. As such, it is presumed that the Bolt has the same DRM keys to allow for streaming. It's just a matter of Netflix enabling streaming to the app on their end

From what I understand from one of our reps, is that there is a going to be a netflix streaming app working on Verizon soon, they are waiting for a specific phone to launch it.

can't wait!

So do we know maybe an ETA on when we can expect to see it go live?

Probably around the time the LG Revolution drops (since it is likely the phone that is slated to "launch" the Netflix app), which is scheduled for a Q2 release

That is correct, will first launch on the Revolution. You guys don't have to much longer to wait

I might actually restart my netflix service when this comes live. Might not be so bad watching movies on this screen. My Inc was just a little too small to really enjoy.

Long story short. It's very big in Europe and it's finally in the U.S. because they have to deal with record labels and things like that. You get to stream music from them, and it's pretty much amazing. Also allows syncing to your Android device.

shame you cant stream on the phone with free version.

Anyone have luck with caching for offline play with 4g. I can stream fine with 4g but it wont download for offline play when I select a playlist in the offline playlist editor. Works fine over 3g but is uselessly slow doing that.

I disagree. With Spotify you have nearly any album at your disposal. Can cache up to like 3,333 songs for offline play. For me this beats the hell out of wasting disc space maintaining a collection and in turn actually making the artists some money. I canceled my Slacker account. They had on demand too but their cache process sucked, the app sucked, and the library smaller. The Spotify app and service blows it away. $10 a month is nothing if you listen to a lot of music. I've had it 3 days now and have already listened to about 20 different albums straight through. Pays for itself even if you listen to only 1 album a month.

Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Not quite...
With all the due respect to your expertise please note:
The mobostick is a fundamentally different device in that it allows complete mobility and functionality. Simply put, you put it in your pocket and can turn ANY USB equipped playback device (anywhere - at your friend's place, in your car or at a boardroom without carrying your TV on your back from home), to a client to your Android smartphone or tablet. No DLNA devices dependencies on full compatibility...
Additionally, you do not need a router either. All you do is turn on your Access Point on your smartphone or Tablet and you have instant connection in the absence of a wifi router....
Also it is not restricted to just media files. It has simplified sharing which allows you to copy wirelessly files from your device and also beam ANY document to a playback device (presentations, spreadsheets etc...).
As you can see, there is no similarities and no restrictions - therefore there are no comparisons... Apples - Oranges or better, Apple - Android....

Can you walk into a friend's place who does not have a Wifi router, , or your car, turn on your Access Point on your device, and playback anything you want in a heterogeneous environment?
In contrast, you plug the mobostick to any USB equipped playback device and share ALL the files you wish from your phone or tablet, anywhere.....

Hi tech - especially Gen1 devices - have a certain cost to bring to market. Having said that though, when you think that sometimes we shell-out $30 and $40 for a set of hi-end cables for connectivity, it seems inexpensive to spend an additional $20 bucks on a mobostick and have all the wireless connectivity we want, anywhere, and without cables to trip over... Of course, we all have our own budgetary restrictions and it is all a matter of convenience and application.
On another note, you seem to be very well informed as to what is out there that is worth noting...

You have a router in your car?
Guys... you are all smurfs
Mobistick is a super gadget.. you dont know what are you talking about.
You can stream WITHOUT a router or wifi hot spot or anything. It is just connecting your android device without cables to your media player or any capable device that have a USB host and if this device can plays 1080p then you can stream 1080p without the phone to render or decode anything. You can play your game or make calls the same time while someone wathcing a 1080p movie from the storage of your phone.
omg.. you are all dummys

Lol its like $90. Thats a lot of££££ you can spend on xperia games!!!! =p waiste of money when you concider you can connect the play to a ps3 or wireless tv asa media server etc. But your basically shelling out for a wireless usb cable. Lol. Hmmm

Freebies with the Nexus 7 pre-order

Does anyone know exactly what we get with a Nexus 7 pre-order, and if this only applies to Play Store orders?
So far, I know we get this:
1. $25 Play store credit
2. Transformers: Dark of the Moon full movie
3. Bourne Dominion Book
4. Several magazine issues (which magazines?)
5. Anything else?
If this is only for Play store orders, then it would greatly justify paying extra for shipping instead of trying to buy somewhere else

You are aware its not hard setting up Google music for in the UK aren't you? You can't buy tracks or albums but the upload and streaming your music works just fine! Google it, it took me 5 mins once I'd tunnelled a US ip address.

Google certainly should have included "Blade Runner" in addition to or instead of "Transformers".

Since you get a permanent copy of Transformers, I wonder if they will release the ability to purchase movies when the Nexus 7 ships.

Pretty sure, if you have the xbox music pass you can download for free. Just once you cancel your subscription you no longer have access to the files. As well just set up a PIN for purchases that way you'll know FOR SURE when you're being charged for something.

Your are correct! I spoke with Microsoft.
