‘The Office’ on your iPhone
Monday, May 12th, 2008
You can now watch full episodes of ‘The Office’ on your iPhone for free!
Just go to http://m.nbc.com/iphone from your iPhone and then click the Video tab.
Naturally, playback using WiFi is highly recommended over AT&T’s much slower EDGE network.
The good news is that AT&T may soon be offering FREE hotspot WiFi to its customers, including many Starbucks locations! So you can watch ‘The Office’ while sipping your morning latte. (I tried this at my local ‘bucks in Mountain View this morning — it works!)
And hopefully more episodes will become available soon — right now it’s just ‘Job Fair’ and ‘Did I Stutter?’.
Still, it’s not a bad start …




Although this is not like the iPhone, where you can download it for free, I thought I should share that you can buy the episodes and sync it with your Microsoft Zune Device, for those that have Zune. They have every episode up to Job Fair. And there’s no commercial breaks.
Now I can take The Office with me wherever I go.

In case you didn’t know this either.. hold down the Home Button for a few seconds until the icons shake.. you can move buttons around.. and have multiple home pages.. just drag an icon off the screen and it’ll move to the next page.

25 | Nicole Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 6:40pmTo #21 WES:
Thanks for the help! I didn’t know about that feature. SO EASY. It’s a pretty little thing too- (the NBC.com icon.) Looks good on my home screen. I’m ashamed of myself- I’m usually more up on these things…
On another note, I too hope that NBC.com will make their website more MAC friendly. C’mon- get with it NBC!!!
24 | luvrgrrl Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 6:24pmThis gives me (perhaps irrational) hope that NBC will then return their shows to iTunes. Is that so much to ask!?
23 | Shari Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 6:10pmi don’t have an iphone. however i do have an itouch. does anyone know if I can get those there?
22 | JH+TO=amazingness Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 4:46pmTo #18 When on safari and on the website. Press the + button on the bottom bar and a screen should pop up, touch Add to Home Screen and there you go :)

20 | Wes Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 4:21pmcould this be nbc’s way of saying hi apple remember us? want to make a deal?
19 | Heidi Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 4:16pmThanks, Tanster! YIPPEE!!! Even though I hate AT&T and miss Verizon, once again I am happy to have an iPhone. ;o)
To #12- CARI: How do I add the link to my home screen?
18 | luvrgrrl Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 3:31pmIt would be nice if Nbc also made the episodes in the website downloadable for macs.
17 | Clara Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 3:27pmOh, Tanster; why must you give us new Office-y distractions?! haha, thanks for the heads up; my iTouch loves The Office :)
16 | Secondrink Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 3:02pmHoly cow I can’t believe how awesome this is! The quality is better than the normal you tube video quality. Now I just need to find some places outside my house with free WiFi!
15 | Angie Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 2:51pmLUCKY people who have iPhones! My dad has one, and convinced me not to buy one because of how expensive they were. Yet another reason to break my phone contract!
14 | Pam Scherbatsky Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 2:49pmTried it on my iphone up here in Canada, the videos aren’t region locked, so I was able to watch all videos with no problems,
hurray!
[from tanster: no geo-filtering! woo!]
13 | Dean Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 2:44pmOh man, I’m adding that to my home screen right now. Summer is looking brighter already!
12 | Cari Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 2:05pmThis is fantastic…I am surprised how many people here have iPhones!
11 | kazels Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 2:04pmWow !
10 | Bluehval Mon. May. 12, 2008 at 1:59pmLoved it. It actually works here too. That is amazing, though I’m not sure NBC knows that.. :P
You can also watch “Did I Stutter?” and “Job Fair” for free with Verizon VCAST phones. I’m sure it’s lower video quality than the I-phone, but for my meager standards it was smooth watching.
