WorldWideFlix - Use Net Flix All Over The World

Have you ever heard about the Video service called NetFlix?

Well i have. NetFlix is the largest on demand video provider in the United States.

They provide tons of video content from the best creators and genres.

Starting with award winning TV series, through thrillers and comedy and all the way up to foreign films - NetFlix has it all. all of that in a very low price of only 7.99$ a month.

You can watch unlimited amount of videos from any type and in any time - no matter where you are.

Netflix content can be watched through your web browser,Android device and IPhone/IPad.

The only problem with that service is that it is only available within the US - which is great. unless you don't live there :)

So what can we do?

We can mask our location using proxy servers!

And that is quite easy when you are on your laptop or PC / MAC. But what about when on the move?

Well that's why a new application called WorldWideFlix was invented.

WorldWideFlix is an Android application that gives you full access to NetFlix content via the official NetFlix clients (NetFlix and Phone Flicks).

This magnificent application gets an up to date proxy servers list, checks which is best for you and applies it - all in a press of a button!

All you have to do is choose which of the applications to run.

For the price of only 0.99$ this life saving application is practically free!

Don't have a Tablet? - no problem!

WorldWideFlix is available for all Android devices running OS version higher than 2.0.

Two things that are worth mentioning are:

1. The applications requires root permissions

2. The NetFlix / Phone Flicks,and the video and it's quality are under the responsibility of the publishers. WoldFlix only helps you mask your location.

So what do i actually need to watch NetFlix content?

1. A NetFlix account

- If you don't have one, follow these steps:
      a. Go to this link and select any proxy that is "Transparent" and uses ports
8080 or 3128
      b. apply the proxy configurations to your browser using one of the following guides:
              1. Internet Explorer
              2. Firefox
              3. Chrome
              4. Opera
              5. Safari
      c. Go to NetFlix.com and select to start your membership.
      d. Enter all of your regular details (name,email,credit card details,etc)
      e. in the Zip Code field enter : 77060
f. You are good to go!
2. A rooted Android device running OS version 2.1 and above.
3. Download NetFlix / Phone Flicks or both from the market
4. Buy the WorldWideFlix application from the market or using this barcode

Now, all you have to do is open the NetFlix application, press START and wait for it to say that you are ready to go, open your desired Netflix client and start enjoying unlimited video streaming.

Here are a few snapshots from my mobile and from my Kindle Fire:

How To Access to Amazon Apps Market From Outside the US

Every Kindle Fire owner knows the following scenario:

You grab your Kindle Fire, browse through the Amazon App Store, you find the app that you want, try to download it and then Amazon Tells you that you cannot buy it since you don't live inside the US even if its Free!.

Well i know that my heart was broken several time because of this limitation.

And i know what you are thinking: "Whats the problem?! , root your device, enable third party applications, install the google framework, install the market application and do this and do that ...."

But what if i don't want to root my device?

What if i don't wont to go through all this trouble?

What if i don't know how to do any of those stuff?!

Well you don't have to!

Spimi-Tech exclusively gives you these 5 simple steps to download free apps (and free only!) from the Amazon market.

- No need to root your device

World Wide KindleFire - Enjoy Amazon's Contents Wherever you are

About a month and a half ago i was in the US for a business trip.

at those days Amazon just released her new book reader/ media player/ android tablet - Kindle Fire.

The kindle Fire is an amazing device annd with the price of 200$ it is a very strong competitor to the Ipad and Galaxy Tab.

When purchasing a Kindle Fire you get a month free of Amazon's Prime which is the paid members program of Amazon giving you discounts, privilages and access to free media.

The only problem with that for me was that as soon as i left the US and flew back home that membership became useless to me since you can only use it when in the US.

So i kept using my Kindle but that feel of disappointment never left me alone until i got this new application called "World Wide KindleFire".

This application simply makes Amazon think i am right there in the US and i can enjoy all their amazing content!

By getting a fresh list of proxies every time and temporarily unrooting my device this application covers all i need to enjoy my Prime membership - all for the price of 0.99$

I had already renewed my Amazon Prime membership- Worth every dollar spent!

I lay in bed watching episodes of "24" or National Geographic programs.

Amazon gives great video quality and response times.

The content keeps getting bigger and wider.

To Conclude

- If you want a great tablet to watch videos and surf the web - Buy a KindleFire.

- If you want to enjoy it outside the US - buy World Wide KindleFire.
