The BBC has started rolling out its iPlayer download service to Android smartphones and tablets.
Some devices running Android versions Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean can now download BBC programmes and keep them for up to 30 days to watch off-line.
And the BBC says more Android devices will be added to the service, which already works on Apple's iOS.
But there are still no plans to release downloads for Windows Phone devices, which only got an iPlayer app earlier this year.
The BBC Trust cleared the corporation of claims it was favouring iOS over other operating systems. The BBC argued that developing services for Android is more difficult because of the large number of devices running the OS.
And it's not just iPlayer that Windows Phone is at the back of the queue for. There are still no official BBC news, weather or sport apps for the OS.
