4oD plods onto iPad
If you're an iPad owner that uses on-demand video services, then you'll be pleased to know Channel 4 has launched a 4oD iPad app. There is also talk of the service coming to Xbox Live.

Desktop variants of iPlayer and ITV Player are fine. Can't say I've used 4OD on my phone yet.
well..
not all Flash content actually works on Android despite the hype so I would't bet on it.
