We're on the same wavelength... I've actually compiled all the BBC links I use onto a site formatted for my Vario 2 (or any >=QVGA mobile device) - http://3g.totallyowns.co.uk It's uber-simple at the moment, I'll probably make it look a bit nicer and probably more dynamic (to make it easier to edit) and there's not much else on there at the moment aside from the Beeb and CNN Pipeline streams because that's all I watch and listen to! Hopefully others'll find it useful. All the links are just regular WMV/WMA links (with some of the alternative RP links too) and they'll work on any WMP-supported device afaik.

Just one more thought... How about having a nice short URL to get the live streams up, something like: http://bbc.co.uk/live/news24 would be much more 'viral' than: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/player/nol/newsid_6610000/newsid_66 15400?redirect=6615433.stm <http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/player/nol/newsid_6610000/newsid_6 615400?redirect=6615433.stm&news=1&nbram=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1&bbwm=1> &news=1&nbram=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1&bbwm=1 if you see what I mean... I would be short enough to pop in a signature, and not fail for people with email systems that can't cope with multiline URLs. All you need a folder called 'live' with a few redirect scripts... easy.

I just noticed whilst reading an article on the BBC News site that there was a link to watch BBC News 24 live - I clicked and it's streaming now! Does anybody know if this is a permanent addition to the bouquet of online services from the Beeb, or just a temporary thing due to some breaking news in the recent past which I happened to miss?
