This is important. I for one tend to forget the tireless IT department of the BBC. is the iPhone next? - Roberto Bonini
It already works with the iPhone .... just browse to bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer - Peter Cattell
You sure, peter? I just tried with my iTouch. - Roberto Bonini
It will only work in the UK I think but it should work with the iPhone - John Cooper
@Roberto... absolutely..I have my iPhone here, and tried it again to be sure. I dont know where you are but maybe it will only work in the UK??? - Peter Cattell
The first mobile device that iPlayer supported was the iPhone/iPod Touch back in March - and if you search back then there was a good deal of debate about them having chosen them to support first. Limitations are that it will only allow you to watch TV content over a wi-fi connection, not over 3G, they also don't convert all the programmes over to the iPhone/iPod Touch format. For those outside the UK, TV content on the iPlayer is limited to the UK - most radio can be accessed abroad though. - Richard Peat
I am in the Uk- Scotand. Anyone have any sucess with the iPod Touch? - Roberto Bonini

It blew my collegues at work away when I showed them an episode of Top Gear in the office ... the quality is exceptional - Peter Cattell
Yeah, I was really impressed with the iPod Touch/iPhone version when it first came out. I took a couple of pictures of the quality when I blogged about it back then. http://tinyurl.com/5gqbof Incidentally, a side effect of the way it is implemented with quicktime rather than running in the browser also means that if you have a video cable the iPod Touch/iPhone can show the picture on a normal TV. - Richard Peat
The quality is unbelivable. Pity we cant buy/rent/save the shows. - Roberto Bonini
Put iPlayer Downloader into Google... - Richard Peat
