The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has released a fairly substantial update for its iPlayer app on Windows Phone. The latest release makes it even easier for consumers to enjoy their favourite shows while on the go. Contrary to popular belief, the BBC has been busy working on new versions of its catch-up service and it's great to see Microsoft's mobile platform included. Head past the break to find out what's new.

Full story from the WPCentral blog...
 
And what a huge backward step it is. No longer able to access the BBC radio stations live (alright there are other apps to do that) but even worse no longer able to catch up radio programmes. Found the Listen Again app to fill the gap but it is a bit basic and does not update with recent programmes that quickly and audio output seems a bit on the low side.
 
We need to calm down, they said they will make a separate app. Were should be grateful they even updated the so in the first place.
