I recall speaking with some of the people in ABC about the iView app, and they mentioned at least an intention for it to be rate-adaptive, but this was a few years ago, certainly pre-july-2012, so I may have confused the rate-adaptive mobile app as also applying to the web-based player - which I imagine is also the basis for the iView app in the Playstation?
Telstra's video streaming app for content is definitely rate-adaptive, I had one of the heads of Telstra Digital Media demonstrate it last year - I was also thinking of that when I mentioned iView instead.
