Joost streaming video application appears for the iPhone
The TechCrunch post on Joost for the iPhone came across my Twitter feed so I quickly launched iTunes and found the free Joost application. The application started up and looked promising on my WiFi connection, but I found the same issues that TechCrunch did with the application unable to play movies.
After launching Joost you will see a display with icons for Joost Picks (starts out here), Popular, Browse, Search and More along the bottom. I browsed through the films and tried to watch Starship Troopers, but received the Playback Error. I then took the advice of a TechCrunch commenter and restarted my device to play back the Men in Black Joost Pick, but again that video failed.
I then decided to try something shorter and launched one of the music videos. It started playing and then the audio cut out when I tried turning the volume down and the play/pause button flashed on and off. I paused it and then pushed play again and it ran for a while before then again cutting out the volume and seeing the video get very choppy.
