Following Erik's call for Digital Media Everywhere, cnet has a combined boast / consumer journalism piece called :

We've got almost all the devices the iPlayer is compatible with in our capacious desk drawers, so we thought it'd be awfully charitable of us to load up some Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ content and take our favourite players for a spin.

Dianne See Morrison of blogs about the Beeb's work with Open DRM, remarking that "[a]s for downloading TV programs with the iPhone, that might take awhile":

Why? Because Apple doesn't license its DRM to third party users, and so far, unlike Nokia and several other handset makers, doesn't support the OMA DRM 2 specification.

Over at our sister blog in News, The Editors, Assistant Editor of Interactivity Matthew Eltringham has news from the UGC Hub - "we've decided to try out a reporter whose beat is simply all the content you've been sending in to us - our first Interactive Reporter":

Siobhan Courtney has been with us for a fortnight now and has already scored two major successes - last week she revealed the extent of the that students at some British universities undergo. [...]
This week she has spoken to some of the thousands of students who e-mailed us because they have worth up to Β£30 a week [...]

Ex-Beeber and sometime Internet Blog guest contributor Martin Belam continues his with a of how often Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News content is bookmarked as compared to material from the rest of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ website:

Which means that if you're the kind of person who "does" Digg, you can have a tremendous effect on Internet Blog if you and your Digg buddies hammer that Digg link below and guarantee the team here kudos, adulation and the respect of our peers. Game that system! (More seriously, there are some caveats regarding the profile of social bookmarking users and non-UK access to content in by .)

Red button wizard Andrew Bowden says :

I was always really happy with what we produced. Bar the fact that we didn't bother changing the dreadfully brown colour scheme.
Still, all good things must come to an end. But not before a toast.
To What's On.
Cheers!

Andrew also, of course, posts at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔi Labs blog.

Finally, Internet Blog was going to provide a summary of the responses to Erik's post about the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's use of AIR, but it seems that has already provided one in a :
