All Things Digital is reporting that Netflix is not developing an app for the BlackBerry 10 platform:
Sources say Netflix isn’t developing a version of its app for BlackBerry 10 — native or port. And the company confirms those reports: It has chosen to forgo the platform entirely for the time being. “We have no current plans for a BlackBerry app,” a spokesman toldAllThingsD.
Now, the company didn’t go into the reasons behind this decision. But I do note this. Netflix said that they had no current plans. That could mean that if BlackBerry has an epic comeback, an app could appear. But having said that, this cannot be good for the BlackBerry 10 platform as Netflix has joined Instagram in not having an app on the BlackBerry. And it appears that BlackBerry recognizes this:
“We’re committed to bringing top titles from around the globe to BlackBerry 10 customers,” BlackBerry spokesman Alex Kinsella told AllThingsD. “At this time, it’s in Netflix’s court to join the excitement around BlackBerry 10 — we hope they choose to bring a BlackBerry 10 experience to their customers. We’d love to have them.”
The question is, will developers want to join the bandwagon, or go back to coding for the iPhone and Android?
