New Apple iPad - without the queues High res screen makes radio apps and BBC iPlayer both a visual and audio experience. 'Project Barcelona', the BBC's own version of Apple iTunes, a paid-for service that allows users to download recent and archive BBC programmes to watch on their iPad, PC or Mac after the normal 7-day catch-up period, has recently been announced in a speech to the Royal Television Society. The service will offer both TV and radio shows and will be separate to BBC iPlayer, although will almost certainly share the same visual style. The iPlayer app interface for the new iPad is likely to make use of the device's improved screen resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels, however, archive TV programmes (and radio content) are unlikely to make use of the extra resolution available. Photos of presenters and any other visual tidbits will simply be scaled to suit. Nevertheless, there's little doubting that even with upcscaled content, the Apple's improved display will still make watching TV programmes and choosing radio shows to listen to a compelling experience.
