The BBC has launched an entirely new version of the iPlayer, called the BBC iPlayer Radio and - as the name clearly suggests - dedicated to making listening in to BBC radio stations and programmes easier, more pleasurable and increasingly social.
The new app will initially be available to download for iOS users from the Apple iTunes app store this week, which means that iPad, iPhone and iPod touch owners will be the first to get a glimpse of the Beeb's vision for the long-term future of radio. And quite an impressive vision it is, too! We've had a good look at the app on the iPad and here are the key things you need to know about the new iPlayer Radio.

Along with previous iplayer apps it is restricted to the UK. As an expat living in the Dominican Republic I simply do not understand the logic in this. Is it that difficult to make it available around the world.

so the good OLD beeb are catching up with technology,personally i think its just a ploy to justify taking a liscence fee of everyone on this island of the uk!
i personally do not use my tv for watching the bbc it is used for gaming or movie purposes,my computer is for internet,and phone is for calling or navigation-so why the hell am i told that if i purchase or own any of the above am i told i need a liscence just because i could watch the bbc?
its time the bbc used advertisements like any other broadcasting company instead of forcing themselves down all our media avenues.
i do not graft to pay for the likes of doctor who,eastenders or moyles.and it should be a choice
rant over!
