Newspaper group call to block BBC iPhone apps

The BBC Trust has been urged to block the corporation's plans to launch phone apps for its news and sport content. BBC News reports.

The Newspaper Publishers Association (NPA) said that the corporation would "damage the nascent market" for apps.

The BBC has said it plans to launch its first news app on the iPhone in April, followed by one for its sport content.

It is also planning to develop more apps for its popular on-demand video iPlayer.
