Streaming on PDA (internet radio)

#1 (**permalink**) 28-07-2006, 12:48 PM

Does anyone know if it's possible to listen to streaming media in RealPlayer format on a PDA (via wifi if that makes any difference) - ie BBC Radio 4?

If so, can you specify what hardware/software combination can be used to achieve this?

thanks

That's what you'll need. They do a Palm or PocketPC version

Has anyone actually got it working?

Just tried it on my 2790, and it worked.

Although, I'm a bit young (maybe just at heart being nearly 30) for R4 just yet......

Thanks - what's a 2790? And was that with the RealPlayer software, listening to the FM version of Radio 4?

Very kind of you to take the time to try it out - or are you just thinking ahead to when you're over 30?

Specifically tested it for you, playing the FM 'listen live' link. Won't be back there in a hurry - unless the bidding TV channels, late night quiz programs etc can't send me to sleep.

My PDA is the HP iPaq hx2790, and was using home connection (1mb) over wifi (128G linksys modem/router).

Splendid, thanks again. Using the RealPlayer download?
