It is just going to be a mobile wrapper with their media player. No Metro. I'm not pleased.

Oh and by the way, the reason I aren't pleased is because unless it's a game, I want it Metro. As it keeps the unified phone theme.

Yeah link to the iplayer website - pretty poor effort if you ask me - hope MS didnt pay too much for it - Money will only go in the bosses pockets for covering up the movements of peadophiles and sex pests.

Not impressed. Mobile wrapper? Is this the YouTube app?

 

[Huw Watkins]

Its a start, depends on what the road map is and if the BBC have committed to providing updates.

At least it will work which is better than today.

I'm sure they'll monitor usage and decide them whether a full app is worth it.

An HTML5 app can be pretty featured anyway.
