So why are the BBC helping Apple with their highly unsuccessful iPhone?
How much of my licence-fee cash, the £130 millions and counting sum, is
going to help Apple sell their phone?
That the BBC is /continuing/ to waste my money with Microsoft on this is
almost beyond belief. Until you recall that people working on it at
the BBC are... ex-Microsoft.
