Nearly a year ago you said you were 'working on this' - but it doesn't seem to have got anywhere yet. Having recently purchased a 3GS, and chosen O2 as my network, I was gutted to see that iPlayer only works on Vodafone and 3 (funnily enough the salesperson didn't point this out at the point of sale, or I'd have selected another network). As you can stream live TV onto the iPhone, it seems odd that you can't get iPlayer, what is the hold up ?
