Al Jazeera English has launched news apps for Android tablet and BlackBerry 10 users.
The new apps provide users with full-featured news from the most popular sections of the Al Jazeera English website, including free access to 24 hour live broadcasts and the latest current affairs programmes.
The BlackBerry 10 apps are meanwhile built in conjunction with BlackBerry, thereby allowing their users to access such features as BlackBerry Messenger.
Commenting on the launches, Moeed Ahmed, head of new media at Al Jazeera Media Network, said: “We are delighted that Al Jazeera’s multi-award winning news and current affairs coverage is now available on Android tablet and BlackBerry 10 device.”
He added: “With the global Android market growing at an incredible pace, today’s announcement re-emphasises Al Jazeera’s commitment to ensuring that people can watch our coverage whenever and wherever they want – whether it is on a tablet, mobile device, PC or connected TV.”
