TV.com gives Trekkers a streaming treat for iPhone: full episodes on demand
Filed under: Video, iPhone, App Store
Just as Hulu has more-or-less reluctantly barred boxee from streaming NBC video content to anything other than a browser, here comes the new TV.com iPhone app. It offers full episodes of such classics as Dream On, Night Gallery and Star Trek, and clips from current shows on multiple networks. Compare and contrast with the original NBC mobile site and you’ll see that mobile streaming has come a long way, baby.
Sure, the Slingplayer app for the iPhone may be just around the corner, and rumors of a Hulu app have been floated. Does that give you Kirk and Spock during your morning commute? No, I didn’t think so.
CBS Interactive’s TV.com app is a free download from the App Store, and works either over WiFi or 3G. I have a hunch it’s not going to be available outside of the US store, so if you’re able to check that out please let us know. Update: As suggested, I checked myself — not in the UK store, not in the German store.
