Howdy folks, Whatley here…
Haven’t written anything for a while, but this is something I just had to share.
I just got back from filming the latest edition of the Mobile Industry Review Show (live from the T-Mobile event) and I was about to go to bed when I found this video in my Google Reader from one James Burland, he of (the quite frankly awesome) Nokia Creative fame.
The man has got the iPlayer up and running on his N95!
Awesome!
So I did a little digging… and then I found this piece over on Symbian-Freak about how to install etc… and, as well as finding the actual file there, I also found out a few other facts.
- If your Nseries has Web Runtime (WRT) enabled, you can haz iPlayer.
- N95ers out there – hit *#0000# – if your firmware is v21 or above, you have WRT enabled.
- N95, N96 and N85 all confirmed as compatible
- Current installation only works over a wifi connection
I’ve poked a few friends of mine at the Beeb to see if we can talk to some of the techies there, fingers crossed we’ll be able to bring you a follow up piece over the next few days outlining some of the finer details.
So what are you waiting for? Download it now and let us know what you think!

Whatley out…
