TV.com has released a application on the App Store and if you’re in the US you can stream full TV shows and clips of TV shows right on your iPhone or iPod Touch! TV Shows available for full episode streaming include: CSI: Miama, NCIS, Star Trek: The Original Series and more. The video quality isn’t great, it’s sort of YouTube video quality… yeah, crappy quality but it’s very much watchable. You can stream this video via Wi-Fi (obviously), 3G, or even EDGE which is awesome if you like waiting a couple of hours to load 5 seconds of video.

I wish they had some of the more popular and cooler shows avialble for full episode streaming, such as The Office (It’s not even on the list and it’s understandable since this app is from CBS), My Name is Earl (again, not even on the list), Ghost Whisperer, The Big Band Theory, Weeds and etc. but they sadly don’t.

Qik isn’t the newest news but I just tried out for the first time today. I must say I was impressed. Qik is a homebrew 3rd party native App that can be install via Cydia under the ‘Multimedia’ category. It ties in with their free video web service that you need to register for. The registration was pretty quick and painless but did involve sending a SMS message to my iPhone. There was an option to not have to do this but I didn’t bother following that route opting for quickly clicking on the link in the SMS message to tie my iPhone to my Qik account.

Once all this is done the fun begins, all you do is open Qik press record and it will start streaming live audio and video from your iPhone to your Qik account where it can be viewed from anywhere in the world. You can obviously select whether a video is publicly viewable or not.

From my iPhone:

If you’re someone that cares about bandwidth costs, maybe because you live in Canada (F@#! YOU ROGERS!) Then you might want to make sure you’re using WiFi or 3G and not EDGE. This could result in a hefty bill at the end of the month. Quite the price to pay for trying to stream live footage of your cat on to the net.
