ElectricPig seem to be as excited as we are about the possibilities of iPlayer on Mobile:

Best of all though, he let slip that the tweaks included in iPhone OS 3.0 could be used to improve BBC iPlayer on the iPhone: "We use standard web technologies for our streaming. We're looking at whether we can make that work with the 3.0 iPhone software".

On All About Symbian they caught hold of the news of the E71 release almost immediately, after following our blog updates like a proverbial hawk:

The BBC has just launched a standalone iPlayer S60 application (v1.0.0!) for the Nokia N95 and E71. iPlayer lets UK users catch up on BBC programmes that have been broadcast in the last week or so and has previously been exclusive to the Nokia N85, N96 and 5800, available as a Web Runtime widget. Although no formal announcement has been made by the BBC as I write this, it's as good as a done deal, as this BBC blog post strongly hints.
