Recently i posted with a workaround for the bbciplayer since the new style website removed the popout button, making it impossible to play content on the n900 via the bbc iplayer website.
Well good news! there is no longer a need to hack our user agents and regretfully pretend we are an android phone :/
The popout button is back, so now we can watch bbc iplayer content at decent quality again! check it out. and it seems that the BBC do listen to us when theres enough of us whinging
Similar, instead of changing the browsers user agent to Androids one and tricking the Iplayer site into showing us the Android page which has a low quality mobile optimized flash player. We can just goto the normal Desktop site now and play the content by pressing the popout player button in the bottom right corner of the player.

I was really annoyed when the iplayer was updated and no longer worked due to no pop out player. Then after seeing your work around, was somewhat relieved. I signed up to the iplayer forum just to complain about the removal of the pop out player. Now it's back. Ever grateful for your work around and keeping us up to date with the situation. Great news. Thanks.
