You can easily use the inbuilt realplayer for the bbc's realmedia streams.

Open your browser and type in the address http://bbcradio.mobi and once it has opened choose the station you wish to listen to by highlighting/selecting it.

download it to phone memory or memory card, memory card is best because of the larger capacity it has in comparison with the phone memory. 

once it has downloaded, it will state connection to server needed. Connect? Choose yes

It will then auto-connect flashing connecting within realplayer.

It takes a few seconds for the station to load into its stream and then it will start playing automatically. Some stations give error messages. I dont have a solution for that except for assuming that some are off-air at certain times of the day.

Hi it’s Raouf Bortcosh again

Our Accessibility team sends their gratitude to all of you who tried this application. Thank you for the excellent feedback. Our aim is to provide a simple application that is useful and works on as many S60 models as possible. It took use some time but we made some minor improvements and have a more solid version now. The dreaded “Get error -1″ is now gone. We decided to simplify checking for the camera cover and… removed the check to ensure the application works on as many devices as possible. We did not forget devices like N96 and E71.

Please remember that the application works best on S60 phone models that have the auto focus camera feature. For example while the application works on the E61i the camera on the E61i is not capable of focusing on small objects as camera available in the N95.

Very good suggestions have been provided on this first ‘feedback round’ and some of them are actually under implementation.

We have updated the compatibility list, since the application now works on many more devices, such as the N96 and E71.

Compatibility (tested with the latest SW updates):

• Works on: N96, N95, N95 8GB, N82, N73, E90, E71, E66
• Does not work on: N85, N78, E65, 6220

Living in Reading in the UK, I've been used to seeing a gradual computerisation of everything to do with the city's travel network, right down to electronic signs at some of the busier bus stops – it's clear that there's now computer awareness of all trains, buses and roads. Which begs the question as to why some or all of this data couldn't be put online for Joe Public to access. There's now an answer for Reading (and for several other UK cities), thanks to mxData and their new MetroTV mobile application, screenshots and details below.

MetroTV is a Java application, first reported on here and available from the mxData web site. The mobile application is also available for York, Sheffield, Birmingham and Stratford Upon Avon. it has a typical Java 'feature phone' interface, but in this case the functionality offered by the system outweighs any cosmetic concerns. If the system takes off, of course, then more spit and polish and perhaps even an S60 version of MetroTV might become a possibility.

So it's Java? I'll press on regardless…

I liked the way everything's map-based, or at least map-illustrated, giving a real sense of perspective and locality

You can zoom in and out and pan around, with the d-pad bringing up the main menu

Choosing 'Live information' brings up the option of 'Bus stops' (171 of them in Reading's case), Roadworks, Car parks, CCTV, Railway stations and VMS (live road travel signs). Above is me drilling down to find out about conditions in one of the main car parks – in this case, nearly empty as it was early in the morning.

Let's look at the CCTV camera next – no, not those observing criminalsshoppers, silly – we're talking road CCTV here…

Let's look at bus stops next, just pick a stop and you can see live timetable and delay information. Impressive!

'Roadworks' curiously also includes incidents such as accidents, but you do get full information in either case, again tied in neatly to the main map.

The vehicle information displays can be queried to see what they currently say.

The user experience of MetroTV on a smartphone is a bit disappointing – for example, to go 'back' within the interface, you can't just press a soft key – you have to scroll all the way up or down the current menu or set of information in order to find the 'Back' function, but I'm sure a version 2 of the Java application is well on the way.

What's important here is the opening up of real-world-useful information to the likes of you and I. When, at the bus stop, your partner sneers at you for getting out your geek phone for the umpteenth time, you can calmly tell him or her that the next bus is the 10.15 and that it's currently running 6 minutes late, so he/she's got time to nip into the shop for that packet of crisps after all….

You can play with the application, too, just pick the city you want to spy onget involved with and try it out. Comments welcome!
