I would expect that given that the Beeb has its iMP and Podcasting trials already going on, it would be sensible (and highly desirable from Apple's point of view) for the Beeb to make some vidcasts of, for example, the latest news (perhaps the 3-minute news feed that's available live on the News website?). But, if it's only on Quicktime, and it's launched at BBC TV Centre, the BBC is going to have to be very careful about what is effectively product endorsement. Of course, I could be wrong, I suppose none of this has happened yet. This is great, but should the BBC really be getting involved in a marketing launch of a company’s product?
