BBC iPlayer for Android finally supports downloads on some ICS, Jelly Bean devices


BBC viewers with Android devices have been left waiting for many features, and until today, one of them was the ability to download shows for offline viewing. A fresh update is changing that, as the broadcaster is launching the feature on a number of devices running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. A blog post claims it should cover about 70 percent of app users with compatible devices will be able to use the feature starting today, with more to be added in the future. A BBC blog post specifically lists 11 devices (included after the break) that will enjoy support once the update arrives on Google Play and the Amazon Appstore today however two that aren't on it for now are the Kindle Fire 7 and Kindle Fire HD 7.
