The issue with bbc iplayer is the content is in vp6 mostly rather than h.264 and high res vp6 stutters on the N900 due to a not very optimised vp6 on the device. H.264 flash videos at similar res however play back fine with the N900 because there is a dsp based h264 decoder (and some clever tricks probably).

A BBC Iplayer native client however would be able to take say the iphone versions of the bbc iplayer content and play that back reasonably well.
