So thanks for mentioning that Netflix is among the missing so far. I'll admit I am getting too old to keep chasing this dragon as implemented by these companies today. I'm a old hacker from the early Homebrew Club and just see things differently but are sort of tired of having to hack apart everything we spend our hard earned cash on while thinking we are actually buying it. I never thought I would reach this level of fatigue in IT or tech.
I hear ya; it's most frustrating the way content providers lock their stuff down on mobile devices and then dish it out in such a random fashion. I don't have this problem with my netbook; but my tablet gets denied all too often for my liking.
