Dotting the i's of interaction

When I comes to the games market and the next generation consoles (seventh generation, if you can trust wikipedia) that fill our need for gaming and on-line entertainment.

It came to my attention by fellow blogger:

...that bbc iplayer is avalailbe as a downloadable channel for the wii.

On getting home I powered up the wii and checked on-line, and to my surprise there it was.

Additionally it was free, so without hesitation I I downloaded the channel and gave it a test run.

In my opinion the quality was great...I was a bit dubious watching a programme on a and there was no sign of streaming issues.

Obviously BBC iplayer has been around for a while now but in truth I wouldn't use it on say a laptop or computer screen to watch an entire programme, but on my wide screen tv...possibly.
