Samsung announces deal to bring the UK TV streaming app exclusively to its devices
Samsung has announced that it's scored exclusive rights to the ITV Player app for Android until Aug. 31, giving users of its phones and tablets access to the British broadcaster's streaming content. The ITV Player app allows Brits to stream the past 30 days of TV content from ITV, ITV 2, ITV 3, ITV 4 and CITV, and so until September the only way to do that on Android will be on a Samsung device.
The strangest part of the deal is that ITV Player app itself isn't new at all. The app debuted back in mid-2011 for all devices running Android 2.2 and up, though a quick glance over its Play Store listing now reveals that it's "incompatible" with non-Samsung phones and tablets. So if you've already got it installed on a non-Samsung device, we'd advise you not to uninstall.
Samsung says the new app is optimized for the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Mega, Galaxy S III, Galaxy SII, Galaxy Note II, OG Note and Galaxy Note 10.1. The Google Play Store listing reveals compatibility for a wide range of other Samsung devices, including the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Tab 7 Plus and even the Galaxy Camera.
ITV Player for Android is available from Google Play (linked above) and Samsung Apps on supported devices.
