the new iPlayer app on iPad: nicer UI than bigscreen, finally access to simulcast. beyond that, utterly pointless.

@nevali Is the content limited like BigScreen's is?

@benoonbenoon they are, of course — but completely achievable without developing an otherwise lacking app

@dogwinters you may have misinterpreted my statement — it's not that “iPlayer on the iPad” is pointless; it's that building an app for it is

@nevali @dogwinters by which you mean that if the iPad app is v nicely designed, why isn't the 'desktop' version as easy to use..

@r4isstatic @nevali my point is she can't use safari, the app is simpler for her, and she trusts the brand (same for many others I'd wager)

@fantasticlife this is undeniably true. I guess my point is that ipads appeal to non-twonks too, for reasons we shouldn't just dismiss :)

@dogwinters paying £xxx for a shiny connected thing and not being able to use a browser pretty much covers my definition of twonk :-/

@fantasticlife fwiw, I don't think she sees it as a connected thing. It's a thing she watches programmes on. And it was bought for her.
