Channel 4 in the UK has just announced that it has finally launched a iPhone/iPod touch version of its 4oD iPad app, as well as updating its iPad app by introducing a new Search function, and the ability to download programmes that you pay for via iTunes. Available as a free download, the catch-up app enables viewers in the UK to catch up on Channel 4 programmes from the past 30 days when on the go, on any of their iOS mobile devices. According to Channel 4, both the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad versions of the app now have 3G browsing enabled, although video playback is still only available via Wi-Fi to ensure the best-quality video viewing. The app was designed by Nice Agency, who also designed the initial iPad version.
"We're delighted to bring 4oD to our viewers with iPhones and iPod Touches, and to offer our existing iPad users an update to their app, with a new carousel and ability to now browse the app over 3G,†said 4oD Product Manager Helen Walker.
