I seem to be posting a lot of BBC things onto dynamo at the moment, but they are all good so i'm not too worried. I'm not making any money out it either, if thats what you're thinking.

The recently, fully released BBC iPlayer is another one of those online things that justifies the licence fee. Simple, effective and pleasant on the eye (in a typically 2.0 kind of way) there's not much to fault about the iPlayer. OK so the name's a bit trendy, and the buttons around the side are a bit too big, but it works and if you've got a quick connection to the internet its a good way to catch the things you missed.

i suspect it will take some time for this to 'bed in' and hopefully there'll be some kind of download option for Mac users in the future, but not too bad all in all.

The buttons

They need to be big, so you can use them on iPhone. In fact they should be bigger everywhere for this version.

Given that iPhone is just a particular flavour of Mac OSX, it is still rather disappointing that the general purpose Mac version is still not available.
