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:

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 'been using Skyfire for the past 6 months to watch BBC news and other channels embedded within the BBC webpages. I was wondering if anybody had found another solution for example a version of Opera etc? Thanks
bbcplayer not sure if it works or not but give it a go.
Mach5 Browser
Hey There!
Mach5 mobile brower, is also a very usefull and compatible browser.
The textinput is more handy than Skyfire, and it has an own videoplayer for onsite videofiles, very handy.
The only negative thing is, you have to pay for it! (not that much, but still)
But, I like it very much!

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?
Other than Skyfire.. are there any Justin.tv compatible browsers out there? A Plugin program for Kinoma would be Ideal..
Charles.. any plans? I heard Kinoma was slick as all get out for the HD2.... can't wait for the 24th
Exist any witget or app like youtube for justin.tv???
I think the navigator had to be the skyfire ..... but nothing has a gui for justin tv with skyfire and HD2???
Ok, so I have search through the threads and tried a few different packages, half of them dont seem to work and few have any decent channels.
I am looking for a mobile TV package which can plan UK BBC channels, or even just BBC news 24.
Spb mobile TV looked promising and worked well but the channel selection is dismal. I have tried a few packages where you can add you own channels but could not find any URL's for BBC channels, I know they are out their as iphone has TVcatchup.
Any help would be great.

myPlayer lets you add custom channels, but if you are within the UK the "Favourites" view should already give you access to the BBC ones. I find setting the player preference to Windows Media Player is ideal for this. If you have CorePlayer - even better - as then you get to watch the high quality digital TV feeds
or you could install skyfire and use tvcatchup. Its not just for iphones
