Netflix is available to all Android devices running 2.2, 2.3, and 3.x in the USA, Canada, and Latin America. Not getting why Ideapad owners are locked out.
OK, I found the forum:

Whoa!!! Quite a shocker. The gist of it being the devices don't have full access to the Android Market, specifically being able to download movies and other stuff.

I've looked into this and I'm not sure there is going to be a really satisfying answer to this one.

The short answer is that aparantly we made some business decisions about which digital content delivery aps (netflix, etc) that we wanted to support on the K1 and which that we weren't supporting. We are supporting the aps delivered through our market.

Longer term, I think the more that we hear how people want to use the tablets (and what the marketplace needs are) the better we can include these in future releases or potentially revisit prior decisions.

I appreciate your feedback on this one, I know it is important to you.

Lenovo has their own app store, so they put a crippled Android Market app on their devices without disclosing it.
