I use AirPlayer on my iPhone 4. It's a UPNP client, which can see XBMC on my ATV2 provided XBMC has UPNP configured under the network settings.
It plays any file, (without converting) but struggles on large DivX or HD files. It's probably fine on the iPad 2/ 4S with the 'multiple threads' option on.
The nice thing is that XBMC serves up the scraped episode names, unlike my UPNP server on my NAS which is obviously just the file names.
If I forward port 55154 on my router to my ATV2, I can get access to it externally too (it tells you how to do this in the app).
