Appears to be the latest salvo in feud with Apple--after all, NBC is the network that pulled its shows from iTunes because of pricing differences with media-download leader.
NBC, the network that pulled its shows from iTunes because of difference with Apple, is now streaming two of its shows, 30 Rock and The Office, to the iPhone and iPod touch without ads, for free.
As the streams take up a lot of bandwidth, it requires a Wi-Fi connection. AT&T's 2.5G EDGE data nework won't due. Look for this to change when the iPhone that supports the carrier's 3G network becomes available this summer. That should offer the pipe nessesary to support streaming and downloading such large files.
Head to over to m.nbc.com/iphone/fullepisodes.shtmlfrom within Safari to stream the shows to your iPhone or iPod touch. Keep in mind, should you exit Safari while watching a show, it won't resume where you left off. You'll have to watch the show from the beginning.
In related news, a sketch called iPhone: The Affair on Saturday Night Live featured a real live iPhone. No suprise there. It turns out the iPhone NBC used was jailbroken to run unofficial native applications.
