I'd agree its fake. Since the plans for a Mac/Vista/Linux version are 2008, how, or why would they develop an iPhone app, and why would the Beeb deal with Apple? It just seems too unlikely. More to the point, why would they use coverflow unless they were running through iTunes which as of yet doesn't offer movies or TV.
While its a cool idea, and I'd love to be able to watch BBC, (although not to forget Channel 4, ITV, Five, and all the cable/satelite channels too) I don't think we'll be seeing that soon.
Oh yeah, and why wouldn't someone in the US thought about this too? Is the potential UK iPhone market really expected to be that financially profitable? Not likely.
I actually wrote a post about the iPlayer today at http://domster83.wordpress.com/2007/08/14/bbc-idont-player-very-well/
