TVCatchup, a UK service which lets users stream live TV channels to their computer or iPhone, is planning to add compatibility with Android phones quite soon – and would very much like YOU to help them check if it’s working OK.
In order to sign up for the beta test you must have an Android phone and live or work in a 3G-connected area for data-transmission testing. Here’s the rest of the hows & whys, taken from TVCatchup this evening:
“We are looking for a few testers to test our mobile platform, before releasing it to the wider world. If you want to be a tester, it’s very easy to become one. Just make sure you meet these criteria:
* Have WiFi and a 3G connection (ensure you have a sufficient inclusive data allowance or you may end up with a large phone bill! You must have 3G coverage. GPRS & Edge coverage are not sufficient)
* Have a TVCatchup account
* Have a smart phone (Palm, Blackberry, Android, etc. Unfortunately we’re not seeking Windows Mobile testers at this time)
“The actual testing process will only take you 5-10 minutes to complete, however if you’re accepted you can spend as much or as little time as you like testing”
And here’s what you’ll end up seeing:
If you’d like to try it out, the forum thread regarding entry to the beta test is here – but you need to register with the site in order to read it. If that’s too much effort you’re probably not the sort of tester they’re looking for anyway…
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
