BBC iPlayer for Nokia N96 How many of you guys enjoy watching BBC programs while on the go? Well if Nokia also happens to be your favorite cell phone, go for the N96 smartphone. A BBC iPlayer is said to become available soon for the Nokia N96.

Some sites claim that future N96 will come preloaded with the player while others say it will be available from BBC's site. The iPlayer will not only play video files, but it will play audio too. Live streaming or downloading the programs is fully up to you. No other phones are mentioned but it's likely that other S60 devices will be able to run the player.

In order to stream video you will need your phone to be able to play videos encoded in H.264. Luckily S60 3.1 phones can do that so it shouldn't be a problem for you if you happen to own one. Downloading videos will be done in form of DRM. BBC has WMV DRM for PC for now.

I prefer watching TV on a regular sized TV. However I wouldn't mind listening to a few TV shows while on the go, so if you're waiting for the iPlayer, I totally understand.
