iPlayer is the BBC's seven-day catch-up television service which is free of charge to UK licence fee payers, up till now only available on PC and Mac computers...

The beta seems to be very limited, we could only find two programs, newsnight and a whistleblower documentary that were playable.

“Today was a big day for BBC iPlayer: it's the day that it first became available on a portable device. BBCiPlayer is now available on iPhone and iPod touch.

To play BBC programmes on your iPhone or iPod touch, you'll need to be online via a wi-fi broadband connection (the iPhone's EDGE connectivity is too slow for streaming video). BBCiPlayer on iPhone is a beta version right now, so if you find some programmes aren't available on iPhone or you get the occasional oddity... yep, we're working on it.”
