BBC iPlayer leaked for iPhone, iPod touch

BBC iPlayer on iPhone With the Apple SDK event happening within less than an hour, people are suspecting pre-made iPhone and iPod Touch apps for the SDK. The BBC is reportedly working on a version of its iPlayer software for the iPhone and iPod Touch. When visiting the BBC iPlayer website through the portable devices, a link appears in the corner of the window, showing that a beta tag. No details have been released, but I hope the BBC will officially launch the beta version of their iPlayer for the iPhone/iPod Touch at today’s event.

The BBC is also working on a Mac version of the iPlayer software, due for release in late 2008. Currently, the only way to view iPlayer videos is through the website, using Adobe Flash (similar to Hulu). BBC TV Shows have also just been released on the iTunes UK Store - although these do cost the normal £1.89. As we mentioned before, they are also exploring the possibility of putting BBC content on to the Apple TV.
