Re: BBC IPlayer on the N900 - A different approach
 
Hey all, not sure if anyone's tried this but if you set midori to identify as iphone you can access the special bbc site. Couldn't test yet as I'm not near to wifi and even though I am with vodafone it doesn't identify as such. I'll check when I get home if nobody else has been able to (and anyone's interested :D)

This is what i had back



So, As they seem to have apps for pretty much all other N series phone. Hopefully they will consider the N900.

Fingers crossed.

It is strange how the phone can handle high quality videos ( downloaded ) however can handle a few mbit stream from wireless.
Perhaps you could provide the contact you used at the BBC - or at least which page you got it from? Maybe if a whole bunch of us email, it will increase their interest.

hehe, Im pretty sure that they will make an app eventually ( or we will come up with a work around )

It would however be nice if Nokia / Maemo could just fix / tweak the OS to let it work natively otherwise it will always feel like some kind of bodge job on such a good phone thats apparently quite powerful , But evidently isnt when it comes to any kind of streaming of any half decent bitrate.

All that license money and they can't buy the team an n900. :(

Lol, typical aye.

Maybe some more people should contact them :)
It might make them think about buying one. ( or just run the OS in vbox? ) to test.

YES should be. The phone does not need any programmes/applications to run it just the flash update.
