    I'd love if we could get LastFm. That has been part of US live for an age now and I think the UK has it now too.

    BBC iplayer would be nice but seeing as the iPad one is geolocked its doubtful. But then again if its part of the Live gold subscription there's a chance. Would expect 4OD to be available.

    BBC Iplayer won't work through any Irish IP address, have to use a proxy for it. It's licence blocked so even if it's part of the Gold sub we won't get it till the licencing is sorted. Same for all the other stuff, like we can't get LastFm for the same reason. It's part of the US and UK Gold sub.

    Yea but they have a new international iplayer. Launched on the iPad recently. May be a chance of that one.

    Think the list has Facebook, Zune, Twitter, Youtube and maybe Dailymotion slated for Ireland but we had the first three already.

    Blame the fact Ireland is stupidly backwards when it comes to licensing, just look at the music producers like Sony and EMI putting pressure on Eircom here over torrents and nowhere else in the world .
