Sky Italia in collaborazione con Nokia e Microsoft ha annunciato poche ore fa l’arrivo a partire da oggi dell’attesissima applicazione Sky Go per l’accesso ai contenuti della piattaforma satellitare pay per view Italiana in mobilità direttamente dai dispositivi Nokia Lumia.
Sky Go fino ad oggi era in esclusiva per alcuni dispositivi Android prodotti da Samsung e per iPad ed iPhone di Apple, mentre grazie a questo accordo i quasi 2 milioni di abbonati di Sky Italia potranno scegliere un dispositivo Nokia Lumia con sistema operativo Windows Phone senza dover rinunciare alla visione dei propri programmi, film ed eventi sportivi preferiti.
L’annuncio inoltre mostra ancora una volta come Nokia Lumia stia prendendo sempre più quote di mercato, in special modo in Italia dove le vendite di dispositivi Lumia sono seconde esclusivamente a quelle dei dispositivi Samsung con sistema operativo Android, come sottolineato anche da Paola Cavallero, General Manager di Nokia Italia:
“Sky Go per la piattaforma Windows Phone 8 è un esclusiva mondiale per l’Italia ed un vero regalo di Natale per i nostri clienti. Siamo particolarmente felici della partnership con Sky che porterà un incremento della soddisfazione degli utenti Italiani proprietari di dispositivi Lumia. Questa applicazione, come già avvenuto con l’arrivo nello Store di altre applicazioni di successo come Instagram e Vine, sarà disponibile per tutti i dispositivi della famiglia Lumia, partendo dal Lumia 520 fino al nuovo Lumia 1520 con il suo display da 6 pollici HD”
Ottima notizia davvero per tutti gli abbonati Sky che ora potranno godere del servizio Sky Go sui propri Nokia Lumia!
[AGGIORNAMENTO]: Da quanto emerso in queste ore Sky Go arriverà su diversi dispositivi dotati di sistema operativo Windows Phone 8 e non solo per Nokia Lumia, il tutto a partire dal 15 Dicembre prossimo.
Vi lasciamo con il comunicato ufficiale rilasciato da Nokia – Sky – Microsoft:

Thanks to the collaboration between Nokia, Microsoft and Sky, starting from middle of December the pay-TV service on the go will be available for all Windows Phone 8 Nokia Lumia devices in Italy
Milan, Italy – Sky Italia, Nokia and Microsoft have announced the global debut on Windows Phone of Sky Go, the service that allows users to view 30 pay-TV channels on the go. Thanks to this agreement, one of the most loved applications – already chosen by 1.9 million Sky subscribers – will be coming to the entire Nokia Lumia family in Italy starting from the middle of December.
The agreement allows Sky to enhance its mobile service by offering some of its most prestigious content to owners of Windows Phone 8 Lumia smartphones, which are increasingly widespread in Italy, in addition to allowing Nokia to enrich its cutting-edge models with the application that truly allows TV to be taken outside the home.
“Sky Go on the Windows Phone 8 platform is a world exclusive for Italy and a true Christmas present for our customers,” said Paola Cavallero, General Manager, Nokia Italia. “We are particularly pleased with the partnership with Sky as it will further increase the satisfaction of our Italian users of Lumia devices. This app, in addition to the recent arrival in the Store of other successful brands such as Instagram and Vine, will be available on the entire Lumia family stretching from the Lumia 520 to the new Lumia 1520 with its high-quality 6-inch screen.”
“We are pleased with this important agreement thanks to which Sky Go for the first time in the world will be making its debut on Nokia Lumia smartphones and the Windows Phone 8 platform,” said Remo Tebaldi, Customer & Product Marketing Manager Sky. “Sky Go is thus taking a further step on the path of innovation, allowing an increasingly broad segment of our subscribers to enjoy ever richer and more compelling viewing experiences. In fact, this partnership will boost customers’ chances to access their favourite programs on devices such as the new Nokia Lumia 1520 that guarantee the standard of excellence that has always set Sky apart.”
“We are enthusiastic about our collaboration with Sky and proud that Italy has been chosen for the global debut of Sky Go on Windows Phone. This is further confirmation of the excellent results that have led our mobile operating system to become the second largest in Italy in the third quarter of 2013,” said Silvano Colombo, Consumer Channel Group Manager, Microsoft Italia. “Thanks to Sky Go, the line-up of Windows Phone applications has been further expanded, confirming Microsoft’s commitment to guaranteeing its users access to the best of entertainment on their smartphones as well.”[/toggle]
