There’s a new catch-up TV service in town for Android users. ITV player for Android is now live in the Android Market, offering unlimited access to seven days worth of past programming from the network’s four channels.
Unfortunately, just like the BBC iPlayer app, ITV player does not offer live streaming. In order to use the app you’ll need to be running Android 2.2 Froyo or higher, Adobe Air 2.6 or higher and be connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Televisions are about to get smarter. Namely Samsung’s Smart TV platform, which just got a whole lot more interesting thanks to Adobe Air 2.5 support. Coupled with a press release, today’s news gets even better as Samsung and Adobe announced plans to bring Adobe Flash Player 10.1 to its Smart TV browser.
Adobe may have had a few setbacks lately, what with Apple blocking Flash from iOS devices and no longer shipping it by default on new Macs, but the company is fighting back with a new version of Adobe AIR 2.5 aimed not only at the desktop and mobile but also tablets and interactive TV.
