BBC iPlayer reaching Windows Phone within 'weeks, ' will catch up with Sherlock on your Lumia

[![Image][1] ][2]

We've see BBC iPlayer [reach many devices][3] over time, but it's been conspicuously absent on Windows Phone. Nokia has stepped into give us some relief, and it's now promising that a port of the TV catch-up service will be ready for your [Lumia 800][4] "in weeks." Good news no doubt, although Nokia's encyclopedic knowledge of British TV streaming is also dashing hopes of using the [Sky Go mobile app][5] on Windows Phone anytime soon: the same Nokia rep doesn't see Sky being ready for a "good few months" at the earliest. As such, you'll have no problems keeping up with _Doctor Who_ and _Sherlock_ when they're airing, but we wouldn't count on watching live football matches for awhile.
