The BBC is set for mobile. The company just announced that its TV and radio channels will be available on compatible mobile phones, starting from April this year.
For a trial period of 12 months, BBC will syndicate its programming to Vodafone, Orange and 3 networks. Programming includes TV stations BBC One, BBC News 24 and BBC Three, as well as radio stations – Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4, 6 Music, BBC 7 and Asian Network.
Still, not all the content will be available on mobile handsets. Users will still have to wait for premiership football, some films and cartoons, and some overseas programmes like Neighbours.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
