The BBC has confirmed it will be launching iPad and Android versions of their popular iPlayer, starting next week.
On February 10th, the Flash-less iPad app and the Flash 10.1-based Android app will be available for UK residents. Android users will need version 2.1.

Furthermore, all versions of the iPlayer will be updated this week to add 'inter-linking,' which allows for non-BBC content to be offered through the service.
Each of the apps will only be available in the UK due to licensing restrictions, but the BBC has promised international apps "soon."

You will need to be connected to Wi-Fi on your media device to play the video content.
