WOW mobile phone facilities just keep on getting better - soon mobiles will rule the world, if there not already doing so! No one will need a radio or MP3 Player to play music, a television to watch daily programs, they won’t need a DVD player to watch and record their favourite films and they won’t need a laptop to surf the internet, download music or whatever else you may want to do! Mobile phones today already come with FM Radio’s, MP3 players, TV-out and even internet facilities, but now they are developing even further. The BBC iPlayer will soon be available on mobile phones for the first time due to a partnership with Nokia.

What is the BBC iPlayer all about…..
The iPlayer is basically an audio and video catch-up service which allows you to stream or download radio and TV programs from the last seven days to your mobile phone. This is done through WiFi or 3G connectivity that comes FREE, yes FREE, with your mobile phones, be it Nokia, Samsung or Sony Ericsson.
This means you’re going to be able to get the brand new Nokia N96 in October from e2save, with the new BBC iPlayer feature, allowing you to watch all programs you have missed over the passed seven days - you’ll be able to do this on the impressive 2.8″ display screen.
The director of mobile for the BBC Matthew Postgate said, it is very important to offer you guys and girls access to this service wherever you are, which is great, you can catch up on TV programs you have missed via your mobile phone. He explained ‘It’s as close to the PC version as it can get and it will become better in some ways’. These ‘better in some ways’ include the addition of ‘buddy lists’ this gives the BBC and Nokia an opportunity to move rich media on mobiles forward. They also want to deliver the iPlayer’s promise to be a multi-platform proposition.
This is a very exciting time for Nokia as it will combine two massive brands. The BBC is a brand known throughout the world (the same can be said for Nokia) and for Nokia to of bagged this deal, the future really is looking bright. It leaves us with the thought what will mobile phone manufacturers think of next to help make our lives easier…
