BBC confirms iPlayer coming to WP8 (& 7.5) in “next few months”
We have heard the rumor before, reporting that BBC’s iPlayer, a video player for watching Episodes of your favorite shows was coming to WP. Apparently it is now official, and the BBC have confirmed it.
Today I can let you know that we have signed a deal with Microsoft that will enable us to bring BBC iPlayer to the Windows phone platform.
We will be releasing a shortcut to BBC iPlayer in the near future which will be available in the Windows Phone Store, enabling the BBC iPlayer website to work on Windows Phone 7.5 and 8 via a live tile.
This shortcut will wrap the BBC iPlayer mobile website together with our media player. Hopefully these and other developments will help to expand our online reach further. Our latest figures show that over 650 different device types can access BBC iPlayer.
