I would have to say this whole thing is not a leak but a planned marketing strategy by Naspers. I will wait for the official launch before I shoot it down.

Well if the list of devices they mentioned are actually real native apps (unlike Vidi's poor attempts) then it's not too bad. I wouldn't expect them to support Roku as it's not an officially supported device in South Africa and Apple TV you can just use Airplay from an iOS app.

Looks good. I hope their advert is correct and they include latest releases of series, and not just the earlier seasons. I wonder what impact this will have on ADSL speeds during peak periods.

Oh man, I'm sure there are some serious heads rolling in that web-dev department. Unless this is all a carefully-orchestrated 'leak' to get some extra pre-launch publicity.

I wonder what they did wrong that allowed Google access to trawl through all of that content. Couldn't they just have added a customized robots.txt file until they were ready to launch? Not my strong point, but I'd love to know what to look out for in the future!
