BCC iPlayer comes to iPhone, not as interesting as originally thought

After a groundswell of hype that the rumored BBC iPlayer for the iPhone might be some crazy, Apple co-developed, SDK-usin’ piece of kit, the reality is just a little underwhelming. Fact is, yes, the BBC-only streaming app has migrated to the iPhone — but it’s built entirely on the handset’s existing technology stack, prior to the SDK announcement. Ah well, it’s probably just as well considering that the content available on the beta-quality player is limited at the moment, and let’s be honest: they’re gonna need 3G to really rock, anyway.
