Joost adds iPhone app

Joost adds iPhone app Joost has announced the release of an iPhone application which the company hopes will bring more attention to its 46,000 title-strong video library.
Making the application a "game changer" is the fact that users will be able to watch full Hollywood movies or TV shows on their iPhones, in good quality, and for free.

One catch of the service is the fact that you cannot stream the movies over EDGE or 3G and instead it requires Wi-Fi.

Along with the lack of mobility, many review sites have noted "choppy playback" as well as "a lack of content." Its a good first step, but hopefully Joost will fix what it is so far lacking.
