BBC iPlayer to hit Macs in 2008

The BBC will launch a download version of its iPlayer online video service for Apple Mac users by the end of 2008. Well its about bloody time, the question is why has it taken this long?

Explaining the decision to launch for just Windows users, Mr Thompson said it had been about "making the service available in the shortest time frame to the greatest amount of users".


Hmm, hasn’t he heard of flash players? Why the hell did the BBC have to use a proprietary windows player anyway??
