TechDigest has picked up a nice little piece of news, reporting that the BBC iPlayer application has now arrived on the BlackBerry App World Store. For those of you that are not so familiar, the iPlayer is a multi-platform catch-up VoD service launched by the BBC in the UK, to ensure that their content can be distributed via as many content delivery channels as possible, for free. Since the BBC is tax-payer funded, the economics and strategy are a little different than usual, but the net result is that some of the best TV content you’ll see is increasingly available on mobile devices!
Unfortunately I’ve not got a BlackBerry currently (RIM, where you at?!), so I’m going to throw this one open to the floor, so to speak – has anyone tried it, and can you give us a comment, if so? We’d love to hear what you think of it 🙂
