Channel 4 have not been in contact after I have sent three emails to various people asking for more details on 4od coming to the Apple iPhone.

4od is Channel 4’s ‘catch up’ service that is available on the web and through digital TV services.  However, unlike the awesome BBC iPlayer, 4od is not accessible through the iPhone, and other mobile devices.

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.

Stay tunes for more information since I am in the process of writing a mammoth letter to someone in Channel 4, someone who I have been told can actually answer something more coherently than a call centre worker.

    Good luck. I too would like to see this. The bbc iplayer is great for the iphone. Its a shame channel 4 and others don’t do this yet. Surely it can’t be too hard to convert the video they already have to the correct format.
    It sounds like Project Kangaroo has been stopped which may have provided an iphone version.
