—Livestation iPhone: Online live TV app Livestation is preparing to make its service available on iPhone and iPod touch. The outfit says it’s talking with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL). The app is currently in development and is being publicly previewed on Friday but it looks okay so far. One drawback - it will only work over WiFi, not the mobile networks. Here’s the demo.

—Olympics rights: The BBC has faced a first hurdle on the path to securing the broadcast and digital rights for Olympic games after 2012. The International Olympic Committee rejected a bid from the European Broadcasting Union, which represents Auntie and 74 broadcasters in 56 countries - the EBU’s first rejection in half a century. Auntie must now bid alone. Via Guardian.co.uk.

— iPlayer translated: The BBC has translated iPlayer in to Gaelic after getting BBC Wales’ help supporting the service in non-English languages, it says. Whilst the web text is now localised and shows from the BBC Alba channel are online, still English-language regional shows from around the UK are rather absent from the service.
