Crap App of the Week - BBC iPlayer

So, the 'Crap App of the Week' feature is making a comeback for the second week in a row.

Ok, ok, keep it down at the back.

This week the award goes to BBC iPlayer, and here's why.

BBC iPlayer application for S60 is a prick tease. A prick tease of the highest magnitude.

First thing this morning I spotted this post from Gerrymoth. Now, I realise that post has since been edited, but the fact that I can install iPlayer onto my N82, only for it to tell me that my phone is not supported is the utmost of irritations.

What the hell is taking the Beeb so long? I can realise that they initially put all their efforts into sorting it out for the iPhone so that they could steal the headlines, but that was MONTHS ago. What have they been doing since?

Whilst the rest of the world seemingly seems to be caught up in iPhone fever, I would have at least thought the mighty BBC would have seen right through this. Err, HELLO, some of us have had phones capable of streaming video for quite some time!

I mean, it's not like they haven't made the iPlayer available to S60 already, sure they have with the N96, the 5800 and now the N95 and E71 join that invite only club.

How long do us other, inferior S60 owners have to wait now? Another 6 months? Just for you to tweak iPlayer somehow so that it now works on the N82/N93/E51/E61i?

You have working S60 code for both 3rd Edition and 5th Edition, please just let the rest of us enjoy some of the content we are paying for. How hard can it be?
