BBC launch Olympics mobile app

BBC Sport has launched a mobile phone application for the London Olympics.
The free app, available on Android and iOS smartphones in the UK, offers up to 24 streams of live events coverage, comprehensive schedule and results pages, and daily news stories which can be saved for offline reading.

“For the first truly digital Olympics, we needed to ensure that everyone could access our quality coverage wherever they were, across multiple devices.” – Phil Fearnley, General Manager BBC News & Knowledge

Both versions of the app are available for UK smartphone users only. The iOS app is optimised for handsets with iOS 5.0 and above installed. The Android version is optimised for handsets with OS 2.2 and Flash installed.
