Shortcut to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ iPlayer on mobile website available for Blackberry
A couple of weeks ago we made a shortcut to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ iPlayer on mobile website available in App World, Blackberry's App Store for smartphones.
The shortcut is a little downloadable app that places a ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ iPlayer icon on your Blackberry phone. This icon launches the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ iPlayer mobile website in your phone's web browser.
The app is designed to give you convenient access to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ iPlayer so you can enjoy ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ programmes on your Blackberry.
To download the app to your Blackberry phone you can either search for iPlayer in the Blackberry App store or visit this link on your Blackberry to install the app from the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ mobile site.
Note that ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ iPlayer on Mobile is currently available on the Blackberry Bold 2 (9700), Storm 2 (9520/9550) and the Torch (9800).
For more on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ iPlayer on Mobile and supported device see .
You can also view ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ iPlayer on Mobile entry in the Blackberry App Store on your PC by .
We are working on other apps and shortcuts which will be launching over the coming months.
The team would really welcome your comments and feedback on apps. When we Tweet about apps we are going to use a #bbcapps hashtag so if you would like to use this too that would be great. We are always keen to know what you think.

excluding Apple, RIM and the majority of Android handsets.
Why is the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ stopping Android users from viewing iPlayer and video clips but enabling for other closed operating systems ?
