    It should have been, but only other option was to delay release of Windows iPlayer till the Mac / Linux one had been developed also which wouldn't have gone down too well with all the license payers out there (me included!).

    Also it's good news for Nokia users because N96 will have ability to run the BBC's iPlayer on their mobile phones.
