Do you like BBC iPlayer? Are you also too lazy/untech/dumb to open up your web browser and type “bbc.co.uk/iplayer”? Well, if so we’ve got some fantastic news for you: all Sony VAIO computers will now offer a desktop BBC iPlayer widget.

Dubbed iPlayer Desktop, the service allows Sony VAIO users to pre-book a series of upcoming shows to be automatically downloaded (Internet connection permitting), as well as access on demand the usual truckload of BBC TV and radio shows. Downloaded content can be watched offline, natch.

BBC iPlayer Desktop will come pre-installed on Sony VAIO laptop and desktop PCs from September (i.e. “now”). You can also download it yourself here, as long as you have a Windows or Intel-based Mac computer.
