Streaming platform available for selected HTC and Samsung smartphones.
Until today, BSkyB's Sky Go mobile streaming service was only available for iOS subscribers. Now, the platform, which allows Sky customers to view selected channels on mobile phones and tablets, has been launched for Android.
Users of the Google OS shouldn't rejoice just yet though, the service will only be compatible for what Sky dubs the "most popular handsets".
Sky's chosen ones include:
* HTC Desire
* HTC Desire S
* HTC Desire HD
* HTC Incredible S
* HTC Sensation
* Samsung Galaxy S
* Samsung Galaxy S II
Android customers will have access to the five Sky Sports channels, ESPN, Sky News and 11 Sky Movies channels via the Sky Go app dependent on their subscription.
Other channels on offer include Sky Atlantic, Sky 1, Sky Living and Sky Arts 1, while a Sky Sports F1 channel is expected to arrive on all platforms next month.

Holly Knill, head of Sky Go, said: "We’re extremely happy to announce the roll out of Sky Go on selected Android handsets today and the arrival of the Sky Entertainment channels to mobile devices.
"We are always working to ensure that Sky customers have more ways to watch content they love, whether it’s the big Premiership game, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Modern Family or Ruth Jones’ Stella, and this is exactly what this enhanced version of Sky Go delivers."
