One of Samsung UK’s bosses has claimed it will soon start including a Sky Player app on its devices, bringing streaming of Sky’s TV channels to mobile phones. It’s an interesting claim, as there’s currently no mobile access to Sky Player – just a basic service via Sky’s separate Sky Mobile 3G subscription option.
Here’s the quote, via Techradar and Samsung UK’s Simon Stanford:
[BBC iPlayer] has been a big push for us, and we’re looking at Sky Player too, which is something that’s going to be coming along too … If you look at evolution of where these kinds of apps are going to go, I think we’re [eventually] looking at an extension of a Sky box onto your phone”
Whether there’s anything worth watching is another matter.
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?
