RIM Upgrades Software, but Netflix Will Not Support BlackBerry, PlayBook

  • RIM is working with developers to boost its third-party applications to rival those of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. However, Netflix is not signing on, explaining on Twitter: “We don’t have any current plans to support BlackBerry devices, including PlayBook.”
  • “Netflix has long been available for Apple’s iPhone and iPad and devices running Google’s Android software,” reports Reuters.
  • According to the post, it is not clear at this time whether Netflix would “port its existing Android app across rather than create a specific app for PlayBook.”
  • RIM recently upgraded software for the PlayBook to allow developers to easily translate their Android apps over to the PlayBook. “The upgrade also enables a BlackBerry smartphone to remotely control the tablet, which connects to a television via a standard cable,” adds Reuters.
