NBC’s still got Steve and iTunes blacklisted (for now), though that hasn’t stopped them from making content available to Apple devices. Turns out NBC.com is providing iPhone owners video clips and full episodes (30 Rock, The Office) free, without commercial interuption. Video is selected via Safari and launched within the QuickTime player. Resolution isn’t high, but it streams well over WiFi and the price is right. Over EDGE, I had to wait (too long) for a suitable buffer to build – and I wouldn’t recommend it. But, no worries… the 3G iPhone is coming next month.
In other NBC video download news, content is now purchasable by Zune owners. Those very same Zune owners may also see their devices loaded with “copyright cop” software. OR maybe not.

As I think back to the days I was using a Comadore Pet and a IBM pc 512 . There was no internet and no hard drives. No one heard of streaming videos. Video on a PC was just a dream.
My first Cell phone was a Motorola bag phone. With no video or internet and it weighed 5 pounds.
So Seeing something like a Iphone with streaming TV is amazing to me. Since the days of the IBM PC is over 27 years ago.
What will the next 27 years bring? What will we have to look forward to? Will you be able to see a live play on your phone?
The possibilities seem endless.
