The iPhone continues to amaze millions with its capabilities. The most recent trend has been with online video.
While it’s true that some video doesn’t work on the iPhone (ie Flash), the important thing to note is that H.264 and Quicktime-based video streaming does.
With that well understood, a variety of major studios have placed online video content for the iPhone.
Full episodes include 30 Rock, Beverly Hills 90210, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Crusoe, Days of our Lives, Heroes, Kath & Kim, Knight Rider, Life, Lipstick Jungle, MacGyver, My Own Worst Enemy, The Office, Smart Girls at the Party, Star Trek and The Young and the Restless.
Webisodes and segments include Battlestar Galactica, Cartoon Networks, Flapjack, Disney’s Pixar Mater’s Tall Tales, The Late Show with David Letterman, Mythbusters, Criss Angel’s Mindfreak, as well as other selections on ABC, Animal Planet, Biography, Discovery, E! Online sites, Food Network, G4 TV and Travel Channel.
Previews, sports, and news clips are also available on CBS News, CBS Sports, ESPN, FOX Sports Network, MSNBC, and The Weather Channel.
So what’s the catch? The iPhone is a bit small to view for long periods of time, and Wi-Fi over 3G is generally recommended.
So would you, since you could? Overall, video on iPhone is perfect for capturing a current news clip of a pilot landing in the water or entertaining the kids while they wait for the doctor.
