Netflix reveals new tablet interface to help you watch movies at work
Dan Seitz OK, let’s face it, if you’re at work, and you’re on lunch, you might occasionally book a conference room or close your office door and pop on something to watch from Netflix for fifteen minutes on your tablet. We all do it. And now, of course, Netflix wants to help us to do it more, by completely redesigning their tablet interface.
Netflix themselves have noted that people watching on tablets has tripled in the last year, so that’s a lot of lunch hours being killed with an episode of “Breaking Bad”. So, starting with Android, the interface is completely overhauled: more visible titles, more titles shown on the screen in general, and, of course, it’s a lot easier to swipe through lists of titles to actually find the ones you want.
Of course, this will require downloading an update from the Android Market. As for you iPad owners, sorry, but Netflix won’t be bringing you the new hotness for a couple of weeks. Don’t worry, you’ll get it eventually.
So, here’s our question: does Netflix have any time figures on when people are watching on their tablets, because we’re pretty sure the guy in the next cube has been doing nothing but watching “Top Gear” for the last week.
