BBC for Android Updated to Add Tablet Support
BBC for Android Updated to Add Tablet Support
by Quentyn Kennemer on January 26th, 2012 at 2:37 pm



Our friends at the British Broadcasting Corporation have updated their Android application to finally include tablet support. Devices on Android 3.0 and higher will be able to get all of their news from one of the world’s premier news outlet on the big screen without having to visit their site. In their changelog they also mentioned that they are working on bringing live streaming TV and homescreen widgets for later updates, something that should please many people. Find it in the market here. [Thanks Josh!]

AT&T announces record Android numbers for Q4
Android sales are up more than double over the previous quarter.

Despite having to deal with a multi-billion dollar loss for a failed T-Mobile buyout, AT&T has to be feeling pretty good about themselves. The carrier today announced that they moved a record number of smartphones for the last quarter of 2011, nearly doubling Q3 and 50 percent better than the next best quarter.

Breaking things down a bit, the iPhone accounted for more than 7.6 million out of 9.4 million smartphones. With about 2 million other devices split among Android and other platforms, AT&T indicates that it sold more than twice as many Android handsets in 2011 as compared to 2010.

With a bunch of Android ready to roll out of the gate in the early months of 2012 we cannot help but feel a little optimistic about AT&T this quarter. Are you looking to switch over to AT&T this year? Any particular handset that you've got your eye on?
