A Sky News Android app has landed on the Android Market, bringing breaking headlines and video straight to your Google phone. Care to hurry things up over at the BBC, Erik?
Sky News’s iPhone app racked up over one million downloads today, so it’s chosen this moment to launch its new mobile internet service. The Sky News mobile internet site will bring the content highlighted by the iPhone app to other phones.
The Sky News iPhone app, which shoves headlines, pics and video straight on to your handset, just picked up a gong at this year’s Royal Television Society (RTS) Innovation Awards.
The Sky News iPhone app, which launched in May, won the “On The Move” category award for delivering breaking news as well as the ability to submit your own content. It’s already been downloaded by more than 500,000 people, and the jury were with them when they came to rating it.
Sky News is to begin streaming its broadcast channel live and free around the clock online, so you’ll be able to get the latest headlines whenever, even without a Sky subscription.
Sky News is now available in handy iPhone app form. As well as serving you up palm-sized bursts of news and video clips, Sky also want you to contribute your own citizen journalism.
