Sounds like another superb app , Sky are really excelling in this area.

Heres what it says

With the Masters 24 hours away, a new version of the Sky Sports for iPad app is now live, bringing you closer to all the action at Augusta National.

Among the top features are additional live video streams (including Amen Corner on Thursday and Friday) and rolling highlights.

Live leaderboards and a Twitter feed mean you'll have everything at your fingertips to stay on top of the drama in Atlanta.

To take advantage of Sky Sports' superb coverage of golf's first major of 2012, go to the App store and download the updated version.

Sky Go now records 10m weekly content view requests

Quote:

Having officially unveiled its eleventh smartphone and tablet application earlier today broadcasting giant Sky has revealed that its Sky Go service now records more than 10 million view requests per week.

Available through a number of connected sources from PC and Mac to the Xbox 360 games console, the Sky Go on-demand catch-up service has been bolstered in recent months thanks to the hugely popular Sky Go iPhone, iPad and now Android applications bringing Sky content to users on the move.

Sky to offer free WiFi to Sky Broadband customers

Quote:

Launching in mid-April, the 'Sky Cloud WiFi' service will enable Sky Broadband subscribers to wirelessly connect to the web at thousands of public places, including cafes, restaurants and stations.

The move follows Sky's acquisition of WiFi network company The Cloud in January 2011 and is part of the satellite broadcaster's strategy to compete with BT, which currently operates the UK's largest estate of WiFi hotspots.

Sky Cloud WiFi will be offered at venues through which an estimated 4m people pass every day, including outlets of Pizza Express, CaffÃ¨ Nero, Eat, Pret A Manger, JD Wetherspoons and Wagamama, as well as First Great Western trains.

More than 4,000 hotspots have been added to The Cloud's network since January 1, as part of a major rollout programme. The company has also announced new deals with Network Rail and King's Cross Urban Zone.

Quote:

Accompanying the Sky Cloud WiFi launch in mid-April, Sky will introduce a companion app for Apple iOS and Android devices, allowing people to automatically connect their device to the internet at different locations without having to repeatedly log in.

Customers can register up to six devices per Sky Broadband household to the WiFi service, and there are no data allowances or usage limits.
