install the 2 apps, (flash first worked for me) and iPlayer works fine.

you dont need to bother with airdroid or similar apps, just put the apks
in dropbox and click on them from the tablet, or even simpler, email them
to yourself and click on the links in gmail.

thanks for this. The only problem with using the iPlayer app is that it is in rubbish low resolution. If you install firefox beta, go to the iPlayer webpage (select desktop site in the settings tab) you get the option to stream HD and get a much better quality view. You'll need to keep the flash player installed.

Is the iPlayer app likely to be updated so that it can be used on the nexus 7 ? Would like to be able to download from iPlayer and watch offline too if possible. Does 4od work also ?

I tried this download thing yesterday, you have to download the wmv file (do these play on Android?), then play it briefly in windows media player in order to get the 7 day licence, then upload to your device, but when it tries to obtain the licence it goes to a dead domain and times out....

Typical useless POS from the BBC, seems they love employing straight out of uni "computer science" graduates (the ones that have no actual interest in the subject) to create their apps, instead of hiring time served, passionate and experience programmers.

Another option is to install the stock AOSP Android browser & launch it from there.
