Apple Gets Some NBC Love via the iPhone

Posted May 10th, 2008 by admin_huliq

While it's true that NBC has defected to the Zune Marketplace, that doesn't mean that it's not giving some "love" to Apple.

NBC is streaming full episodes of 30 Rock and The Office to iPhones and iPod Touches. The episodes are in QuickTime and free. The best is they have no ads. The worst is that if you exit Safari, and want to watch again, you have to re-download the huge file again.

To get there, browse to NBC.com on an iPhone iPod Touch, scroll past the dross and you'll see NBC's "Watch full episodes" invite. Word on the street is that the quality is not that great and freezes some iPhones, though.

BTW, remember the user-agent hack that allowed non-iPhone users to access free wi-fi at AT&T hotspots (before it was shut down, that is): it works here as well.
