(e.g. the N8). I’ve personally been downloading from iPlayer to my Nokia for the past 9 months and watching whilst on the move.

The Media industry has apparently forgotten the existence of non-Apple products in recent times. Why did the Beeb adopt the “i” prefix for its player anway? A show of everlasting affection to Apple perhaps?
