BBC rolls out streaming sports coverage to 3G networks

[![BBC rolls out streaming sports coverage to 3G networks][1] ][2]

After giving its iPlayer the nod to [stream programming content][3] over mobile networks in the UK, the Beeb has decided to do the same with its BBC Sport mobile site. Not only will you be able to stream live coverage, like the current crop of Euro 2012 _football_ matches, but also any existing video content that was previously desktop-bound. Hit up the source link to give it a try; you'll need Android 2.2 or higher or an iOS device that's packing version 5. Sorry, non-sporting Brits. You're going to find the Olympics [pretty hard][4] [to miss][5] this summer.
