The BBC has launched a set of phone applications amid the hubbub of mobile-related news to come out of the Mobile World Congress.
The applications, which will see BBC news and sport streamed live, will be available for the iPhone from April with further versions available later in the year for BlackBerry, Android and Nokia devices.
The app will provide live and on-demand audio and video content available over Wi-Fi and 3G networks.
Although the BBC launched a new mobile site in 2008, these are the first applications to be developed by the broadcaster.
By comparison, the Sky News app which was launched in last autumn now has a million regular users.
