I spoke to our iPlayer team and I can mention a couple of things.

1. The ability to play BBC iplayer content via a Xbox360 using the media 
extender system is being considered and maybe be turned on in the near future. 
This means Dan and CW in these threads will be very happy -

2. We are looking to build iplayer for the Wii, iPhone and others by the end of 
this quarter. But with the device experience in mind.

3. My thoughts about bringing the iplayer to other devices was correct. If you 
don't break the DRM on the download version, re-transcode the streaming 
version, make the content available outside of the UK (break the GeoIP) and 
finally not screw with the actual content streams. Your able to build what you 
like, for any platform under the backstage licence.

4. Last but not least, we would like to invite some of the developers working 
on iPlayer for other devices into the BBC, so you can talk openly about what 
your doing. The iplayer team would attend and would love to show you what there 
also working on too. Who knows maybe we could help each other?

So if your building a iplayer for an exotic device platform, do get in touch.

Cheers

Ian Forrester
