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.
At this time I can't recommend the Joost application, but there is potential for it to be a decent video solution on the iPhone. I don't have an iPhone 3G to test playback over a non-WiFi connection so I am not sure if it will work over 3G. I would much prefer to see Hulu on the iPhone since there are many more shows there I want to watch than on Joost. I also look forward to a Slingplayer or HAVA mobile client for watching my own TV content on the go.
