After writing the article on whether the an iPhone version of the TV catch-up service 4oD will be released, I emailed Channel 4 to get their statement on the issue. They did get back to me, however they gave me quite a vague, standard reply as follows:

Thank you for your email regarding 4oD.

We are currently considering various options to make 4oD available to non-Windows users, however, unfortunately we cannot say when the 4oD service will be available to users of other platforms.

Thank you for your comments. We at Channel 4 are always looking to improve our service and you  feedback is greatly appreciated.

I can understand that Channel 4 must get a lot of emails requesting information on whether 4oD will get released on Mac formats, so I was expecting a response like this. I will email another department of Channel 4 to see whether I can get more information.

  1. […] I would love to see the 4od service come to the iPhone, so I have gone on a mission to speak to someone at Channel 4 to find out what their plans are for the service, but so far I have had nothing but a generic, ‘drone’ response. […]

    BBC Iplayer on Iphone is amazing, but lets face it channel four were about 3 years behind the BBC just getting 4od available on mac so don’t hold your breth.
