Joost Brings Free Streaming Video To iPhone

Joost is a great online library of streaming video featuring more than 46,000 items to view, including 1,200 movies, individual 400 TV series, and 18,000 music videos that you can access right from your computer. Perhaps even cooler, though, is that now you can get it on your iPhone, too. They recently released an app into the App Store that lets you view their otherwise flash-only online video on the iPhone.

The app gives you free access to programs in a variety of categories, including comedy, drama, movies, anime, music, documentaries, sci-fi and sports. You can also browse either by category, "most popular", staff favorites, or search for specific videos.

You can download the free app from the App Store.

Sounds like a nice idea but unfortunately it only works on a WiFi connection. It doesn't work over 3G or EDGE.

Now if only Hulu would do the same. :-|

Was excited about this until I got home to the Wifi and couldn't download a thing.

Kept getting server errors. Not cool.

I concur. It doesn't work at all, it keeps popping up with errors.
