Sky Go Android tablet app to launch on December 3rd

The Sky Go app for Android tablets is set to go live on December 3rd after a period of Beta testing.

The app is currently in Beta testing mode and Sky says some streaming issues with certain Android tablets has halted a general release.

Roland's offering takes design cues from the drama genre. He said of his box, "I love the idea of magic. I love how a woman can put on a dress and transform herself into something completely new. For me, the Sky box has the same magical quality."

"My design features colourful splashes of passion cutting through a clam sea of orchids. Some people will look and see love, some people look and see blood. It's up to you." Indeed.

Sophie's design is inspired by a love of romance, "I'm a big fan of old fashion illustrations and textile design from the twenties and thirties, Cecil Beaton and Chanel in particular. It was their fashion illustrations that were the inspiration for my Sky box: the rose, something sweet and playful that conjures romance." If you say so, Sophie.

The limited edition Sky+ HD 2TB boxes cost £149 for existing Sky customers. New customers can nab one for £49 when bundled with Sky's Entertainment Extra+ subscription package. Otherwise it will cost £249.

Existing Sky customers who wish to sign up to the Entertainment Extra+ service will need to pay £199 for the box. Or you could just stick with the standard black one...

It wouldn't be his first exposure to the world of all things hi-fi and home cinema, as his first role in technology journalism was with What Hi-Fi? in the UK. Clearly he pined to return after making the move to Australia and the team have welcomed him back with arms wide open.
