Netflix Does Not Plan to Support BlackBerry Users

Sorry BlackBerry users.  Turns out that Netflix won't be giving you any love in the near future.

Reuters is reporting that Netflix has no plans on supporting the BlackBerry Playbook or any other BlackBerry device for that matter.

After a lackluster debut a year ago, RIM has just released its PlayBook 2.0 OS for the BlackBerry Playbook.  The new OS come with an Android emulator pre-installed, allowing users to run Android apps on their device.  However, according to TechCrunch, it doesn't appear that the Android Netflix app works.

I personally feel that RIM needs to do something drastic in order to compete within the smartphone market.  Once a dominate force within the space, they've been steadily losing market share to iOS and Android at a rapid pace.  If something isn't done soon, BlackBerry may become a thing of the past.
