Great iPhone App – Joost!

by Matt Langford on November 29, 2008 · Comments

As an early player in the online video streaming world, Joost was set to takeover our lives. However, with underperforming services and stiff competition (Hulu), it was placed on the back burner… until now! Joost has just release a potential market-changer with their new iPhone app.

You can watch streaming full-length movies, tv shows, music videos, and random video clips. The one negative is its only accessible via WiFi, but when you see the video quality, you’ll understand why. Perhaps in the future, they’ll offer a low-quality version for 3G/Edge, but for now this will have to do.

Price is Right

As Harrison Hoffman points out, it’s an app with room for improvement, but it’s great for a first release. Since it’s absolutely free, there’s no reason that you shouldn’t download it! Now, let’s just hope that Hulu follows suit and releases a comparable iPhone/iPod Touch player soon.

    Wow it is really an amazing app for iPhone. What a shame that I have spotted it only now, about a year after this article was written. But this thing is important nowadays too. I mean I was actually searching for it in Google and have found your website. I really can't understand why it is such a big problem to find nice software for high quality videos on iPhone.. I am searching for one for quite a long time but no results yet. Maybe your recommended app will help me. Thanks one more time for posting this review here. I will be waiting for other great ones from you.

    Sincerely,

  • I agree! I'm just patiently waiting for hulu.com to create their own iPhone app!
