Just wanted to point out that Google’s Instant search is now LIVE to the public. Like their Realtime Search Google is able to deliver results that happen in milliseconds rather seconds. Time will tell if their users accept the new change but, within the eyes of developers its a huge leap in search engines today.

Netflix is coming to Android, yupper’s. For the 3 of you that read this on a Android probably already know this. YAY! Wait a sec, will you actually use it? I find it hard to imagine watching clips let alone movies will get me to use this product since I’d rather watch on my computer or HDTV. Thou, I know many that would use Netflix instant queue to watch in bed or during the morning commute to/from work. Currently I own a very sad/slow G1 the first model released by Google and couldn’t expect to use a broken screen on top of it.

Netflix is looking for a full-time “Android Video Playback Expert”, to help build a “Instant Streaming Client” which will closely resemble it’s app on the iPhone. No word on it’s release date as many hope to have within the year. If your a Android developer and curious about the position here’s the brief on it:

You are a senior engineer with a strong background in embedded and mobile development, specifically on media-enabled devices. You have a deep understanding of the idiosyncrasies of these platforms as well as solid experience with Internet client/server programming in general. You have implemented video playback on Android-based devices. You like to work hands-on and self-directed in a fast-paced, growing organization that gives you room to apply your expertise to solve big technical challenges.

If you’re our ideal candidate, you will hold on your own among a very demanding peer group. You’re able to engage with your peers in discussions about e.g. video container formats and codecs, the intricacies of concurrent programming, implementation of streaming media. You’re also motivated and able to apply these concepts wisely to build a real business that is quite unlike others before.
