HTC Phones - BBC iPlayer For HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro

Well, this app is unofficial. From XDA Developers, Craftyb developed iPlayer to view and download BBC iPlayer content. But iPlayer only runs on HTC Diamond and HTC Touch Pro devices. So let’s try it.

iPlayer features:

• Finger friendly UI including flick kinetic scrolling, swipe gestures and vibration feedback.
• Supports Nav Sensor and Stylus Removal (thanks koush)!
• Higher quality video/audio than Samsung User Agent hack (483×272 h.264 video stream).
• Browse content by Highlights, Popular, Channel, Category or Date.
• Search for content and save history.
• Checks for latest version of player and AppToDate support.
• Downloads video to device for later viewing (I download at home over wifi and then watch videos on the tube on the way to work).
• Video launched in your default player associated with ‘.mov’ files (I use CorePlayer).
