BBC leaves Mac users wanting

macbook_air.jpgThe BBC has admitted Apple users now consume 13% of iPlayer traffic, despite the fact it still doesn’t offer a version of the application for the platform.

The iPlayer service now serves 21 million programs per month, and is seeing growth of 20% month on month, explained Ashley Highfield, BBC director of future media & technology, speaking at the Google Zeitgeist 2008 forum.

This means that 2.6 million shows per month are now being viewed on Apple computers. He also revealed that one in 10 iPlayer users access the service from an Apple computer, while a further 3% use either an iPhone or iPod touch.

Apple and Linux users must use the on-line streaming service, unlike Windows users who can download programs and view them off-line at their leisure.
