Just a day after the UK launch of the Ipad, the BBC have discharged a beta adjustment of the famous ithespian. To get over Apples reluctance to use split second, the BBC are running ipad iplayer using Quicktime streaming technology. Running on iPad infra the exact of  Bigscreen, the Iplayer presentations its mental ability in a large button format with a sideways scrolling carousel of shows in the same way as when running on consoles.

 The compounding of the high quality display provided by the iPad, and the BBC’s wide catalog of television content for free streams is more than enough reason to get an iPad.
 

iPlayer for iPad supports most BBC channels such as BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four, CBBC, Cbebies, BBC News, BBC Parliament, and BBC Alba, plus 10 radio stations. However, at present there is no support for BBC HD television channel. As most UK mobile networks do not military reserve streaming across the 3G network, most users will need to be connected via Wi-Fi to view. Lucky Ipad owners can download iPlayer for iPad at beta.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen
It will certainly encourage the small minority not already in love with the ipad to go out and buy one.

It appears that Apple are starting to look at Live Internet TV as more than “just a hobby” and are giving it a a concluded overhaul.Changing the size, shape, os, ram and most significantly be.

A report from Engadget says that a relaunched version of  Apple TV will be a whole different beast to the current version. Running on iPhone OS 4.0 and streaming all your movies from the cloud hosting.

The new device will also be much smaller, the size of an iphone and will be able to run high definition (HD) video at 1080p. But have Apple left it all too late?  But then most things Apple do turn to gold, and having the millions of itunes members to sell to might help as well.
 

 The service called Bitbop sounds good, however you will have to pay, and at a $9.99 monthly subscription they may have their work cut out.
 

At present the Bitbop service is in beta testing and only available on BlackBerry phones.  As it is currently so new, there are no movies available as yet but there are tv shows from Fox, NBC and CBS plus a variety of cable networks such as discipline geographical,  A&E, Bravo and Lifetime.
 

The service will come as a free to download app offering previews, full content will cost $9.99 monthly over 3G and Wi-Fi connections. You can be sure that in this passing competative market of mobile phone tv, Fox will put plenty of marketing behind the product.
