The BBC has announced that a limited selection of shows on its iPlayer service are now available for viewing on the iPhone. It’s a bit of a surprise given that Macs aren’t even supported yet but with the iPhone currently enjoying a fresh flush of publicity on the back of the SDK announcement, it seems the BBC has decided to strike while the iron is hot.
Currently, only the BBC-produced ‘Whistleblower’ documentary is working apparently with content being streamed-only via the iPhone’s built-in QuickTime player. Of course there will be more shows to follow and perhaps the lack of content is further evidence of the BBC looking to jump on the current Phone publicity fanfare, which is understandable.
The service is running in the UK now and is in its beta form so we shouldn’t be to hard on it for the time being. As more content is added and the service becomes more robust, we’ll be sure to let you know.
