Land of Droid: Android Apps - Android Phones - Android News - Android 
If you are a YouView customer you will be pleased to learn that the company, that offers Free To View TV in the UK, are about to launch their own app within the next 24 hours for Android according to the official Twitter account.
The application features similar features to the Sky+ application and is said to work on most Android 2.3+ handsets however it has been optimised for the Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S2, LG Nexus 4, HTC One S and Samsung Galaxy Ace.
Personally I would have thought that they would at least have tested on a tablet however it seems they just don’t deem that important enough.
