Top Four iPhone Apps To Watch Video On Your Way to Work

Almost every day, I board a bus and relax for the 30 minutes it takes me to get to work. Along the way, I use my iPod to monitor the route using GPS (to make sure the bus driver doesn't get lost), check e-mail, listen to podcasts, and watch the occasional video. On this lazy Friday morning, I thought I'd recommend four free apps you can use to get video on your own iPhone or iPod Touch.

Discovery. I'm a big fan of the Discovery Channel thanks to awesome shows like Mythbusters, and this Discovery app lets you watch clips from all your favorite shows. Here you'll find stuff like Storm Chasers, Man Vs. Wild, Dirty Jobs, and yes, even Mythbusters.

NFB. The National Film Board of Canada (no, not the National Federation of the Blind) offers this cool app with a thousand films in its coffers -- documentaries, movie trailers, cartoons, and more.

Showtime. If you subscribe to Showtime, you'll dig this iPhone app, which includes clips and extended scenes, plus behind-the-scenes videos for shows like Dexter, Californication, and Weeds.

TV.com. This is a very cool app that beams full episodes and clips of some popular TV shows through your iPhone. Indeed, TV.com aggregates all sorts of interesting video content from sources as diverse as CNET, CBS, The CW, and Showtime.
