Has anyone found a way to access the above services on a PocketPC device, these would be perfect solutions for people on the move.
if you have opera 9.5 installed you should be able to go to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayerbeta/mobile/index.html
Sadly that link doesn't work anymore... it just redirects you to the iPlayer home page.
google is your friend
did you try skyfire?

Hi all,
i was wondering since there is a version available for the iPhone and iPod touch, if there was a version of the BBC iPlayer available for a windows mobile device, weather a genuin player or a hacked version, or the best browser to view the iPlayer on the BBC website?
thanks
Maybe some help here:

Hi to all
I bought HTC HD2 two days ago and i don.t know why i Can not watch movies from youtube using the opera.???Is that possible.?
use the youtube application in start/youtube
opera 9.7 does not support flash the way it should but they say opera 10 will
If you want a browser with full flash support (YouTube and everything), get Skyfire.
It's not better than Opera overall, but it's nice to have different options that cater to different needs.
in hd opera when a you tube link was clicked you tube application used to get autolaunch ...
but this never happens in opera of hd2 ..........
but in internet explorer you tube link open in you tube application ............
so any work around for opera of hd2 to launch you tube application when you tube link is clicked ..
Youtube works in Opera and it is fully functional (plays in the broser, with full screen and zoom function), you just need to activate it with a patch:

Also allows to play videos from other Flash-enabled web sites.
I don't recommend Skyfire unless you are in the US.
Skyfire uses servers to give you the content and they are often slow, from the wrong country (DRM issues) or just not available.
You can test skyfire, but for me it didn't do the trick.
Sorry if this is an idiot newbie question but I'm curious: can one use Skyfire to watch flash videos from the desktop-PC version of BBC iPlayer? I've tried using Pocket Internet Explorer, and that initially looks like it's going to work - the counter starts to tick over as if the video were playing - but there's no actual picture. Using Skyfire it complains that I'm trying to access iPlayer from a non-UK site (presumably because the Skyfire proxy server is outside the UK) - is there any way around this?
And yes, I know all about using myplayer and the user-agent hack in Opera. It's specifically desktop (rather than mobile) iPlayer material I'm interested in.
yes u can play iplayer from skyfire but dont like to watch in there tho
The answer you want is 'yes', so long as you are in the uk, since Skyfire now uses localised proxy servers. Video quality isn't all that great in Skyfire but I watched a whole episode of BBC Click without any major issues.
myPlayer does a very good job of sorting out iPlayer streams for you; it can also download higher quality videos.

Okay. How?
Hello,
I love my HD2 (ROM-Version 1.43.407.2 GER) but recently I have some problems with the preinstalled Opera...
1) When I surf e.g. to E!Online.com my browser opens not the original page but the German one. And it's not only the localized page but it's although the WAP page. This is especially stupid when I klick on the links in the E!Online Tweets - then again, the to be opened page is not the desired one but a localized WAP page which of course does not contain the wanted information.
2) I know Opera cannot play Youtube videos (at least not without using the FlashFix, which I have not installed so far); nevertheless there is a preinstalled separate Youtube application which works fine for me. And I know that there is Skyfire which handles Flash but has no multitouch - I installed it but like Opera more... Is there any possibility to open Youtube links or embedded Youtube videos in blogs from Opera with the external Youtube application (due to the fact that I would like to watch it fullscreen)?
Do you have any ideas how to handle one or both of my issues?
Thanks in advance!
DW!
Nobody?
To answer question 2: no it's not possible
The newest release of skyfire browser says that it supports iPlayer, but whenever I go to a BBC site I get thrown to the mobile version, even when set to desktop view. Is there a work around for this as I just get a page saying that the browser isn't supported
thanks
Jay
