Haha at least you got someting out of today then. ;)

The Galaxy S2 is fully supported and that came out mid-2011. My HTC One X+ from October last year, nah sorry, not that.

When I read that I thought it was a great loophole ;)

Apparently you are not allowed to do this and "Apparently" the phone networks can tell where you are getting your so called unlimited data from. Even though both my phone and tablet actively encourage making themselves wifi hotspots.
Having just got the Kitkat update which is essentially no different i am beyond caring anymore.

Strange the way it works, 300 pound phone not supported crappy 4th gen iPod supported.

I knew there had to be a muck up. They release an app that according to what it supports should have been out a few months ago. I hope they update it fast so it supports 4.4, or it won't be much use to a lot of people.

Although I do obviously hope that 4.4 support comes as soon as possible, percentage wise it's going to take a while for most devices to go above 4.3

In the short to medium term, getting more devices tested and added to the compatible list is going to help more that 4.4 support

Anyone know if this is likly to ever work on the Kindle HD Fire?

I know its not on the supported list, so wont do right now, just wondering as we cant access the google play store on the Fire if it's likly to be anything we ever get? (for what it's worth - the US app supports Kindle Fire)

Cheers

Seems very unlikely that anything other than android and iOS will ever be supported to be honest, just isn't enough users on the other operating systems to make it viable.

That would make me sick with rage if I'm honest.

Hi Martin,

Kindle HD Fire is an Android slate (beleive 4.0 but could be wrong). It's just heavily modified and has no access to the Google play store (have to use the Amazon App store instead).

Cheers

Kindle Fire HD is running a fork of Android

That's how we use it.

Kids view using the iPad tethered from my iPhone, I'm on Three with unlimited data and tethering included in the plan.

Works fine so I can't understand the reason they don't allow you to use it over 3G/4G. I've even had a laptop, 2 iPads and another iPhone all using my connection at the same time and TVAnywhere still worked on the iPad.
