UPDATED | 3:56 PM

Silicon Alley Insider discovered yesterday that NBC has formatted a
few of its shows — “30 Rock” and “The Office” — to stream on the Apple
iPhone.

You need to be using the phone’s Wi-Fi connection, not AT&T’s Edge
cellular data network.

Any bets on which update will mysteriously cripple this "perk"?

I can't find the URL.  What's the URL, Vic?

Probably m.nbc.com, which has streamd those same shows to a myriad of
mobile phones for secveral months.  I suspect it'll work fine on your Moto.

Some "perq"- NBC gave the iPhone the same ability other mobiles already
had...

Here is one source for that information after a quick Google lookup
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/08/AR2008050802469.html

It was in one form or another on a lot of different news sites over
the last month.

That's great, except I wasn't the one looking for the link.
