OMFG.

It's amazing.

Technology gods the lot of them. Superb quality TV on your iPod streamed over your wireless network. I'm truly amazed.

Does I player still have the annoying P2P element (Kontiki) which uses your bandwidth to send programmes you've downloaded to other users.

Just go to www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer and it loads the mobile version automatically. It is pretty good I have to say..

having said that, the content appears to be somewhat limited.
You need to work the menus - it's all there. Shed loads. Click TV on the top bar.

He'll be talking about the flash version as the Beeb are too lazy to impliment the 'proper' version for anything other than windows.

I'm pretty impressed by the unofficial PS3 version. Apparently the guy who threw it together is now on a BBC wage!

It's pretty darn good on the iPhone I must say, just had a quick skim at the motoGP and the quality is great. Must admit I hadn't realised there was a mobile version.

Slightly O/T here, we have a media centre with an app that lists all the channels' on demand players like iPlayer, and we are REALLY impressed with Channel 5's. It shows all the good documentaries they have in good quality and they remove all the adverts for you!

Not sure if you can access it as well on the iPhone, will ask MOH as it's his toy........
