Texas Instruments has said today that Netflix has given their OMAP 4 platform Netflix HD certification, meaning all future OMAP 4-based devices will have built-in capability to stream HD Netflix films.
Says TI (via PCM):
Essentially, [Netflix HD] is a new app, which can be pre-installed on an OEM's device that has itself obtained Netflix certification. The app can also be installed on a certified device that is already on the market, through a secure OTA (over the air) upgrade.
TI is proud to be the first to achieve this coveted certification and to provide the solution that ensures a strong balance of performance, security and power efficiency as Netflix experiences migrate to the mobile world. Our OMAP processors deliver rich, life-like experiences on mobile devices, while our M-Shield technology stands as the guard dog, protecting customer, content provider and consumer assets. It's the best of both worlds, driving new growth opportunities for Netflix in the Android marketplace.
