I can watch many BBC TV programs or listen to almost any Radio 4 program on my PC for free, but the ipod touch cannot access any of this material. The UK market may be small, but why does Apple want to seriously damage the potential of its otherwise excellent ipod touch in the UK by blocking Real Player streaming? A wireless device in the UK that cannot access the excellent online content of the BBC is pointless.
