Sky Go launch for Android 'to be launched shortly'
A new version of the Sky Go video-on-demand streaming service is set to be launched for Android smartphones shortly, the broadcaster has announced.
Already available for users of the Apple iPad and iPhone, the service will be available for Android devices "in the coming months", a company spokesperson told TechRadar.
The satellite broadcaster previously insisted Sky Go for Android would be released before the end of 2011, with the spokesman insisting it is still on track for this deadline.
As part of its financial results for the third quarter of 2011, Sky revealed its video streaming service had gained more than 1.6 million users across various platforms.
Sky Go, which was launched in July, allows viewers to watch live TV coverage on a range of platforms including PCs, laptops, mobile devices and Xbox 360 consoles.
Earlier this year, members used the service to gain access to more than 40 million pieces of content, of which 15 per cent was on-demand footage and 85 per cent was live programming.
