With the Wildvine DRM update, does that mean that Netflix will be possible on the Xoom?

Engadget is reporting[1] that an update is coming downstream tomorrow that adds in the Wildvine DRM, among other things, so does that mean that we can have the possibility of getting Netflix sometime soon? I know that Netflix has been really picky on what devices they're allowing (or at least plan to allow) and require that they support DRM on a hardware level, but do you think having Wildvine will be enough?

It would be awesome if that happened, but I believe they have a contract with LG at the moment. Not sure how true that is, but I know that as of right now the Netflix app is only coming to the LG Revolution.

Now that the netflix app is on the market and available for a handful of HTC devices, its been hacked to work on a bunch of non-supported handsets too. I believe the entire family of motorola droid handsets can use the XDA hacked version along with the Nook color. This tells me there is a very high likelihood that it'll come to the flagship honeycomb devices too.
