The [**BBC**][3] has released an application that will allow users of
|
|
[**BlackBerry**][4] smartphones to access the iPlayer catch-up television
|
|
service on their handset.
|
|
|
|
The iPlayer application is compatible with the BlackBerry Storm 2, the
|
|
BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the BlackBerry Torch 9800.
|
|
|
|
Customers who have monthly contracts with Vodafone and Three will be able to
|
|
access iPlayer via the 3G mobile phone network, while those on other networks
|
|
will only be able to watch _EastEnders_ and _The Apprentice_, or listen to
|
|
_Woman's Hour_, over Wi-Fi.
|
|
|
|
The BBC iPlayer application for BlackBerry devices is available to download
|
|
free of charge from BlackBerry's app store, BlackBerry App World.
|
|
|
|
A similar service is already available for [**Apple**][5]'s iPhone, and
|
|
although no official iPlayer client has been released for [**Google**][6]
|
|
Android devices, several workaround exist to allow users to access the catch-
|
|
up television service.
