So, I noticed with raised eyebrow that the Beeb is rolling out iPlayer on the N96 handset. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/main.jhtml?xml=/connected/2008/09/07/d lbbc107.xml)
This is good news, because having unfettered unDRMed content at comparatively high quality for just the iPhone platform (and locking all other platforms out, mobile or otherwise) seemed mightily unfair. Now, if the N96 is anything like the XpressMusic handsets (the ones being used for Comes With Music), they support Windows Media with DRM. Windows Mobile devices inherently support DRMed WMVs, and although I'd prefer MP4 content for my mobile device, I suppose DRMed content for my mobile is better than nothing for the interim. So, when is the iPlayer's mobile functionality slated to come to Windows Mobile devices? This one's a question for Mr. Huggers or one of his team, I suppose... - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
