We have some good news and some bad news for users of the BBC’s Android iPlayer app. The good news is that the long-awaited, constantly-demanded ability to download programmes for offline viewing is coming soon to the app, with the BBC letting us queue up shows over wi-fi for watching away from home.
The bad news is this new functionality has just launched today inside the iOS version of the app, so we’re left until last.
Hopefully the BBC will take this opportunity to fix the iPlayer app’s abysmal radio section, too, which is rendered useless by demanding the app’s front and centre and with your phone’s display active, just to listen to music.

The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
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?
