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 )
I did contact BBC basically asking nicely that they maybe consider writing an app for the N900 due to its (hopefull) popularity.
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.

Come on peeps, time to annoy the heck out of Auntie for an iplayer app.
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.
Thank you for contacting the BBC iPlayer support team.
I understand that you'd like to know when BBC iPlayer will be available for the Nokia N900.
We appreciate the anticipation with regard to iPlayer content being available for this device, however we've not tested the product as yet and can't guarantee if and when this will happen.
