RECOMMENDED APP
BBC iPlayer for the Blackberry
This free to download app is different from most iPlayer apps, in that it allows streaming over both wifi and 3G (Vodafone and 3 only). This is good news, as it means that you can watch David Attenborough or QI wherever, whenever, on the business-friendly smartphone, subject to network availability of course. The app is supported on Blackberry 9520, 9550, 9700 and 9800.
