ITV Player 2.0 brings live streams of the UK broadcaster's TV channels to iOS

[![Image][1] ][2]

It's on Apple's iPhone and iPad, but this is the [ITV][3] Player, not the rumored [iTV][4] supposedly under development in Cupertino. After initially [launching last summer][5] (along with an Android version) offering streaming video on-demand, the UK channel's iOS app has been updated to version 2.0 to offer a live streaming feed of its two channels. Other than just ITV1 and ITV2 over WiFi or 3G, if there's a live event being broadcast that isn't on either, you'll still be able to tune in via the app. Other new features include [AirPlay Mirroring][6], easier switching between content, improved location detection (to determine what channels are available) and Retina Display quality graphics on the iPad. Unfortunately, _The Digital Lifestyle_ points out catch-up access is still unavailable over 3G, but those with access should grab the new app from iTunes.
