We’ve been tracking the BBC iPlayer app for a while now, and over the weekend it was “confirmed” to be right around the corner. Unfortunately the BBC has quite a different story. This is what they had to say to Pocket-Lint:
“We are always looking at new and existing platforms to bring BBC iPlayer to, but have no plans to launch a BBC iPlayer native app in Windows Phone Marketplace in the immediate future.”
That’s a major bummer. Official app support has really picked up in the last couple weeks, so hopefully the BBC will come around sooner rather than later. A little help from Windows Phone fans never hurt…hint hint.
