There was a petition to get the BBC to not restrict the use of its technology to just windows (pre vista to be more specific) users.

I signed the petition and have had an email confirming their response.

The iplayer has been launched and whilst I have XP through parallels, I have not yet used it. Hopefully it will not be too long before we can get to grips with it in OSX.

I think we'll get a player next year some time - iPlayer doesn't ecen work on Vista yet, so they still have some work to do.

If they had any sense it would be in a format that's playable on iPods.

I don't think any of these OD services (BBC & C4) will take off until they team up with iTunes. It will take work on both parts (not least having Apple re-jig FairPlay to implement time sensitivity), but it would benefit the end user immensely.
