The BBC has announced that its apps for Android phones and other mainstream devices will launch towards the end of this year.
The first of the BBC News apps to be launched in the UK were for use with the iPhone and iPad.
The apps, which are free to download, were originally due to be released in April of this year.
However, the launch was delayed as the BBC Trust, the corporation’s governing body, took a detailed look at the proposals and investigated the impact that the free-to-download apps would have on the rest of the industry.
A number of news organisations already offer apps for the Apple products which allow the user to remain instantly informed of key news events.
It is understood that similar apps for services such as BBC iplayer and sport will follow shortly.
Doing a great job….. My wishes…………….
