BBC streaming live to Nokia 5800s

bbc-streaming Our friends at Electricpig have spotted some interesting news – namely that the Nokia 5800 can now stream live TV shows from the BBC.

The BBC has a beta of it’s live streaming service, which you can access by aiming the 5800’s browser at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/live/tv

The suggestion of course would be that you utilise the WiFi chip in your handset to get to the site, if you are going to be doing data-intensive video streaming – your choice of course, but without unlimited data in your tariff then you’ll get a big bill over 3G!

Certainly a cool feature, and the BBC is great for content, of course – we’ll hope this gets rolled out to other Nokias going forward!

Thanks to Ben for the heads-up there!
