The Virgin Media Player app gives access to mobile-optimised content from 4oD, Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon. It can also be downloaded from the Ovi store by Virgin customers on any mobile network.
Interestingly the N8 also comes pre-loaded with BBC iPlayer and YouTube apps so there's ample opportunity to use it to watch TV/film.
Jonathan Kini, director of mobile at Virgin Media, said: “The Nokia N8 is a fantastic entertainment handset and the perfect launch partner for our new Virgin Media Player app. With more and more consumers enjoying entertainment on the go, the combination of the Virgin Media Player service and the Nokia N8 provide a compelling way for consumers to keep up with their favourite shows.”
Earlier this year the company launched its Virgin Media Player, which can already be accessed through the Virgin Media Mobile portal to deliver TV On Demand through video-capable handsets.
The Nokia N8 is available from free from £40 on a Virgin Media pay monthly tariff.
