I don't suppose you make your main site work with the iPad as I can't access it without asking to use someone else's laptop, and I hate doing that as I would a long time on just watching the nature videos clips. If you could do this then it be a big help to me.

Q: When do licence-payers in the UK get a chance to use this app on their iPhones?

A: the BBC News app is currently available in the UK Apple App Store. Search for BBC News to find the app

Q: Where is the iPhone version?

A: BBC News is available as both an iPhone and iPad app in the Apple App Store. The demonstration was done on an iPad because it is easier to show the app on the larger screened iPad

Q: Will I be able to access the BBC News Channel when overseas? (Yes, I am a licence fee payer)

A: The BBC News Channel is not currently available outside the UK. The BBC News iPhone and iPad apps are available in Apple App Stores outside the UK and includes Live World Service radio

Well Mr. Madden, you'd better make an app like this for PC laptops and Windows Mobile phones (such as the HTC HD2) as well, hadn't you? After all, I pay my licence money too.

That's nice and all, but how about converting all the audio and video on the standard BBC websites to H.264, instead of Flash? That'd be a better option, so mobile users of any platform can see all the content.
