The BBC has made good its promise to release a version of its iPlayer software for Nokia S60 phones that would work with more than just the N96 and N97.
The Beeb have had a lot of requests for an N95 version – indeed, an early release of the app did work with the N95, but this feature was mysteriously removed in a software update – and have responded with a dedicated app for the device.
The app works much as you would expect – up to seven days of BBC programs can be caught up with, and you can even watch live TV or listen to live radio. The only snag is that most N95 owners will need wifi to use the app. Anyone on Vodafone or 3 will be able to watch via a 3G connection, but the BBC hasn’t been able to negotiate 3G access from O2, Orange, et al as yet.
Full review coming soon, in the meantime check out this BBC video. iPlayer can be donwloaded via your mobile here.
