With the Olympics gearing up in London the BBC has jumped on the digital band-wagon big style. Releasing an app for ios and android, along with a new website specifically for the olympics.
First off, the app. This has the usual features of information about all the events and scores/points etc updating as events progress. Now the interesting bit; they are due to give live streaming within the app (watch your data usage!) along with highlight videos. Very nice! Not only that, the live streaming is due to cover 24 live streams. Bonza!
The website replicates this, with a whole olympic theme surrounding it. Live streaming, sports updates, highlights yada yada. Pretty much the app but souped up, as I'd imagine streaming over 3g on your phone could be rather cumbersome. Will give a quick review once the app is actually out...watch this space.
