It was announced yesterday that BBC’s iPlayer will soon be available on the Wii (having already been rolled out to iPhone and iTouch - all the iProducts sticking together). I read the anouncement and thought “Wow”, then thought I can watch TV on my, er, TV. So, I thought, “Hmm”, then I thought having Internet sites that deliver TV programs fed to your TV is the best place for them as they’re at the centre of your entertainment set-up at home, so I thought, “Wow”. Then I thought, “But not many Wii’s are actually set-up to connect wirelessy compared to say over 70% of Xbox 360s and 40% of PS3s, so I thought “Hmm”. Is this “Wow” or “Hmm”? Help me out…

ReportThis reminds me of your Dont Believe The Skype post (http://www.knitwareblog.com/dont-believe-the-skype-psp-adapts-skype-technology-00184/) where you rightly say why do we need so many different devices to exploit the same tech? I now have a choice of 4 devices to watch the Apprentice on; 3 of them would run through my TV. But my TV doesnt compete with my TV. It competes with the only other screen in my life. My phone. When can I watch iPlayer on my BlackBerry?
