Joost, a struggling video streaming site, may have found their salvation this weekend by adding support for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch.

Founded by Niklas Zennström of Skype and Janus Friis of KaZaA, Joost has had trouble finding a home in the video streaming marketplace, despite a wealth of well known media properties that are all free for the viewing.  Content varies from music videos to feature length films such as The Fifth Element and Legends of the Fall.  It is hard not to find something on the Joost app (iTunes link) in their over 46,000 videos that will appeal to some taste you have.

While the application does have its positives such as not even having to log in to a Joost account to use it, it does suffer from the fact that it will only work over Wi-Fi.  Many people on the iTunes Store are giving this app low ratings because it will not work over cellular networks for their iPhones.  While this would be nice if it could work that way, it would just be too much of a drain on their bandwidth to be feasible at this time.

I am personally a fan of Joost from when they first launched, and the idea of being able to lay in bed and watch classic Transformers episodes is fine by me.  Some other reviewers on the iTunes Store have called the selection “meh”, and they might have an argument if they actually paid anything for the service, but a free service which offers you complete televsion series, feature length movies for free and music videos, I’m sorry to say, but I have no empathy for your dislike of the selection.

This app is on my iPod Touch to stay.
