The BBC has released an application that will allow users of BlackBerry 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’s iPhone, and although no official iPlayer client has been released for Google Android devices, several workaround exist to allow users to access the catch-up television service.
