The BBC has
confirmed that a version of its
popular
iPlayer service will be available for
Apple users by
the end of the year.
BBC director-general Mark Thompson confirmed in a
blog
posting that Apple users will be able to download programmes using iPlayer
by the end of 2008.
Thompson claimed that the corporation had initially concentrated on
Microsoft
users because they make up the vast majority of web users.
"The
BBC
iPlayer has made programmes available to Mac users and users of other
operating systems via streaming since December 2007, a move which I am told has
gone down very well indeed," he wrote.
"However, the issue of download of programmes to Mac and other platforms has
always been more complex for technical and rights reasons."
Thompson also said that the BBC is working on a similar system for
Firefox users, but
offered no news on the development of an open source iPlayer downloader.
