Netflix already streams video to Apple’s iOS devices, the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, but until the LG Revolution smart phone hits shelves, Android users are pretty much out in the cold with no Netflix (NFLX) to watch. But some resourceful hackers have managed to change that, if only slightly, and distribute the Netflix app around the Internet.
The Netflix app for the LG Revolution was shown during the Mobile World Congress 2011 last month in Barcelona, and the Revolution is currently the only phone getting it. Not all Android phones are really capable of handling the app, which allows users to browse their Netflix queues as well as stream movies and TV shows to their handsets using an Internet connection.
But as MobileCrunch points out in its story today, hackers have apparently gotten a hold of the Revolution, flipped it over and poured it out all over the Internet. They also managed to dig out the Netflix app and make it available for download for Android users to download. The app is currently available at DroidLife, and it’ll let you remotely browse and update your Netflix queues, which is a pretty great ability to have when you’re out in the world.
