Joost (http://www.joost.com) — the Flash-based, global web video
service — has launched a Joost application for the iPhone and iPod
touch. The new free application is available through Apple’s App
Store (http://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore/) and enables iPhone and
iPod touch users to enjoy anime, comedy, drama, movies, music,
documentaries, sci-fi and sports over their Wi-Fi connections.
Similar to the Joost app that runs on the Mac, Joost on the iPhone is
ad-supported and free for users. Mike Volpi, CEO of Joost, says
iPhone and iPod touch users can choose what to watch on Joost in a
variety of ways: browsing by category; selecting “Most Popular”
videos; watching “Our Picks”; and searching for a specific video.
Joost offers more than 46,000 videos including 18,000 music videos,
400 TV series and 1,200 movies and short films. Joost is available
globally, offering content from more than 300 partners worldwide.
Content varies by geography due to individual agreements with
copyright holders.
