Does this not just highlight the Android "problem" i.e. fragmentation of devices which discourages app developers and content providers.

Not sure why Sky are taking so much time on this. The likes of BBC iPlayer, ITV player, Netflix, Youtube etc don't seem to have had many problems. |

there has been a sky Italia android app for a while that works fine and is apparently better than iPhone version. there is a theory that sky and apple have had some exclusive deal in uk which is about to expire. |

It is vital for Sky to get onto Android. Ignoring Sky if you factor in that 30% fee it must mean 50% less content for the consumer. It is not the same for Sky but they need a stick to combat that content killing 30% fee.

I know that the OP said that Sky Go will be coming to Android smart phones at the end of Feb and will at first be avalible on Samsung Galaxy and HTC phones.
But please can someone tell me if Sky Go will work on the Samsung Galaxy Ace, Samsung Galaxy Mini and HTC Wildfire S? |

I would like it for my tablet but is it right you can only view it on one device and once you use a device, you can't use a different one in the same calendar month?
I can see the strength of not being able to use it simultaneously on 2 devices, but I would like to be able to use it on both my laptop and tablet (at different times). |

There's no 30% fee as the iOS SkyGo App is free and requires no in-app purchase.

You can have it registered on 2 devices at the one time, ie xbox and pc or phone and tablet.

Nope not at all, not even a little bit. It's further evidence that android users are still marginalised and that top companies are slow to realise that smartphone does not equate wholly to iPhone.
However it could be a fair argument that IOS users are more the purchase consumption type. |

EDIT : Just been posted by Sky on Facebook Sky Go launches on selected Android smartphones this morning, but may take a little while to show in the Market. You should see it in the next couple of hours, so try checking back then if it doesn't appear when you search. |
