[wraggster]

While US viewers continue to wait (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/01/bbc-brings-global-iplayer-ipad-app-to-canada-one-step-closer-to/) for the expat-edition Global BBC iPlayer app (http://www.engadget.com/tag/iplayer,global), BBC Worldwide has announced a new version launching December 8th specifically for iPhones and iPod Touches. Like its big brother app for the iPad (http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/28/bbc-releases-global-iplayer-app-for-european-ipads-7-per-mon/), this free download lets subscribers stream or download shows for offline viewing, as well as stream video to the Apple TV via AirPlay (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/22/bbcs-global-iplayer-app-adds-airplay-streaming-should-just-be/). Whole new categories of programming are coming online soon including music, arts and culture, and radio, and now it can all fit in one's pocket. Check the gallery for a couple more screenshots, or after the break for a press release with all the applicable pricing and regional information that's available.
