Too bad Motorola, HTC and Samsung aren't using a Qualcomm chip. Thanks for playing.

The big news isn’t flashy
Remember how Netflix complained that a streaming video application for Android is difficult to do because of a lack of a consistent DRM framework from one device to the next? Honeycomb takes steps toward fixing that problem by adding an extensible DRM framework.
It’s still not a monolithic DRM solution on par with Microsoft’s PlaysForSure or Apple‘s FairPlay, but the aim is to provide a single programming interface to a variety of underlying DRM mechanisms. Is that enough to make a blanket Netflix-streaming application possible for all Honeycomb tablets? I don’t know, but here’s hoping. Netflix video has served Apple’s marketing well, and Android would surely do better in the marketplace with video-laden killer apps like that.
