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!

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
