The BBC has made its entire range of podcasts available for Apple's iPod Touch and its newly released iPhone.

Developers at BBC Audio and Music have created an iPhone-specific podcast directory so that users can easily stream the 5 Live News phone in and Best of Today, along with all other news casts, without having to navigate the usual web page .

"What we've built is a version of our normal podcast directory, but optimised for the iPhone's user interface.

"It allows you to browse all the BBC's Mp3 podcasts by radio station, genre, or in an A-Z list. You can then stream and listen to all the available episodes directly on the device," wrote Simon Cross, BBC Audio senior developer, on the BBC Radio Labs blog .

The move follows the Sky News development of a specific mobile site for iPhone users.

Sky News launched its 'lite' version of the existing Sky News mobile site to coincide with the UK release of the iPhone, last week.
