Joost, the on-demand video streaming service that came to the Mac a while ago, has now made its way to the iPhone and iPod touch. The video service features music videos, TV shows, and even movies … and you can now watch all of them on the go.

You can browse videos by Joost picks, popular videos, browse videos by category, and search for videos. Joost uses a custom built video viewer, as opposed to the regular video player that is used by the YouTube application. I didn’t really like this custom view, nor the inability to rotate the video. I also had some troubles trying to watch a video; sometimes I would be presented with a “Playback Error.” When I was able to view a video, it stuttered all the way through to the end.

The Joost application is a great start for the video on-demand service, but I would like to see tighter integration with the Joost platform. Right now, this application just seems like an alternative to the YouTube application that’s already built into the device. If you are a Joost addict, however, you might want to check this application out. You can download it today on the iTunes App Store.

While this might not meet the official definition of an “Easter Egg” in an application, I thought it was pretty cool that when I opened Flick Bowling (click opens iTunes) on December 1st, I noticed something different.

First, the background on the splash screen (below) was red instead of the normal blue. The “Flick” logo is in Christmas red and green, and the bowling pins now have red and green stripes.
