Here is a list on wikipedia of UPnP/DLNA compliant iOS apps - might be something in there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UPnP_AV_media_servers_and_clients#iOS_:_iPhone.2C_iPod_touch.2C_iPad
Might depend on what format the files are in as to whether you can play them though. I think there are some versions of VLC for the iPad that might be worth trying first.

Slightly off topic, any recommendations for makes/models of NAS devices? Can they be formatted EXT3 so I can put a load of stuff recorded off the TV in HD? (filesize > 4 Gb)

I bought a Zytech, this one just after xmas fro under £100. 2Tb and has usb and esata ports. Now everything in my house (Roberts wi-fi radio, Sony Blueray Player, desktop, laptop & my phone) can stream music, video and pics with ease and 2 seconds of set up. But so far my the two iPads my daughter have remain unconnected. I suppose I will have to get an apple TV box

(filesize > 4 Gb) I will be selling both of my Synology NAS soon as I am replacing them with custom built servers. Let me know if you are interested.

Going even more off-topic (sorry John, I'm not helping much, but thanks for the eBuyer link) I was given the Steve Jobs biography for Xmas, would not have bought it myself, overall I still don't like the way he did things and imposed his closed system hardware/software thing, and he killed off the Newton, but his one (only?) redeeming feature in my eyes is that he used to drive a Fiat 850 Spider with an Abarth engine (it caught fire, so not so cool). Hyper - yes I would be interested, but they may be out of my price range (was only looking to spend £100-150 say)
