Here comes the htc evo 4 G seen! And packing many firsts to its debut on Friday in the Sprint: the tablet is Android Tablet PC first 4 G from Sprint to hit the market, period-that the first tablet to work with the network the company 4 G WiMax: 5 download Mbps and cargo of 950 Kbps, based on the evidence of PCMag.
Most importantly - for the film, the HTC Evo 4 G seen enthusiasts is the first tablet to send support added for the movie from Netflix and video streaming. In this way, joins an exclusive club of Android devices that support the service: a sad list as currently limited to only nine Android smartphones.
What is business? They are equipped with Android devices, phones and tablets, too slow to run Netflix? Not necessarily. A Sprint spokesperson confirmed in an interview with Wired the company makes a lot of tests to ensure that Netflix streaming will proceed smoothly through the network of the company.
The response more realistic for what still can be Netflix said, a Tablet Motorola Xoom is the ugly Monster often looks over his head when it examined the Android updates: fragmentation. For Netflix, the company must be further research and configuration to ensure that digital rights management systems uses work through a series of Android devices.

But at least you can transmit movies while waiting?
