People who are fans of shows like The Office, 30 Rock, and My Name Is Earl have a new way to view their shows. The shows are now available to view on an iPod Touch or iPhone.

One aspect of the videos that are better than those viewed on a desktop, is that they are commercial free. So far the system has been giving many iPhone and Touch users problems with clarity. Sometimes the shows can even locked up the devices. The shows are distributed in an unprotected Quicktime format.

This move seems odd for NBC. As the Apple and NBC have had a rocky relationship in the past. NBC has pulled videos from iTunes before, because of Apple’s supposed stubbornness on prices. Although, as great as Apple is doing, it would be silly to let squabbles in the past keep you from investing in technology that’s being adopted by millions.

If there’s one thing that this writer loves, it’s reporting on rumors. It’s fun to speculate and get excited about something, when you’re not sure if it’s even true or not. Of course this can come back to bite you, as I reported on the “iTunes Unlimited Download Service” that ended up being false. But aslong as the rumors pop up, I’m going to write about them.

The newest rumor comes by way of an AT&T employee memo. BoyGeniusReport, is reporting that AT&T has told their employees, that a vacation freeze would occur between June 15th - July 12th, for an exciting new product release. All signs as of right now point to the exciting new release being, the 3G iPhone. Mossberg, awhile back, stated that the 3G iPhone would be releasing by June. So if this rumor does turn out to be true, then it wouldn’t turn out to be a total surprise. But it might be a little earlier to get our hopes up as well, as this could turn out to be another “Unlimited Download Service” rumor.

It looks as though one of the first major virus scanners is seeing life on the iPhone. McAfee has quite un-officially released the, “iVirusScan“, which can be used by the iPhone, or the iPod Touch. As of now McAfee hasn’t made an official announcement of the anti-virus program release.

Just like other anti-virus programs, with the iVirusScan, you can do a full scan of your contents, download updates, and adjust settings.

In a report, from iPodNN, one user got an official response from a McAfee representative stating, “The application you blogged about is indeed a genuine McAfee project…We are always working on new platforms including the popular ones. In this particular case we were running a test to validate some recently developed technology. We happen to be first to test AV technology for iPhone. We’re happy that iPhone users are already getting excited about it, as evidenced by your blog and the thousands of people who are trying out the application. Still, we are not ready to announce a new product, our development work is in the early stages.”

I can hear early iPhone adopters grumbling everywhere. At first, there was an early price drop, so launch buyers paid $100 more than people who waited. Now, there’s even more reason for you to be discouraged. AT&T is planning on a $200 subsidy, for the new 3G iPhones coming out in June.

The news comes by way of Fortune magazine; in an article by Scott Mortiz. The price of $199 will be available to customers who sign up for a two-year contract.

Also, there will be two models when the 3G iPhone releases. There will be a 8GB, and a 16GB option, at $399 and $499 respectively. The new iPhone is slated to release on the one year anniversary of the first launch, June 27th.

Our North America brothers up north will finally be receiving their own iPhones. Rogers, a telecommunication company in Canada will be the initial carriers of the iPhone. It has been uncertain as to whether Canada would ever receive the iPhone.

Since the unveiling of the iPhone in the US, Canada has had to sit back and wait for a carrier to use the handset. No details have been given by Rogers, but the expect to have the iPhone available by the end of 08. Rogers was the first Canadian telecom to show interest in the iPhone after the 2007 release. They promised they would sell the handset, but they hadn’t released any progress until now.

It’s either a big coincidence, or a ploy for publicity, but the Toronto Star started a rumor about Rogers selling the iPhone by July. This rumor was started before the official Rogers’ announcement.

As soon as more updates from Rogers comes in, FreeMacBlog will be posting it.

All of you fitness nuts out there, can now rest easy as it’s been officially confirmed that Nike+ is coming. The program will be available for iPhone, and iPod Touch users. Patent filings began the rumor of a Nike-iPod relationship nearly a month ago. A Nike spokesperson has finally substantiated the rumor.

Some cool features you can expect to see with the program is the Nike+ Coach feature. With this you can set up distance settings to try and achieve, along with different marathon programs to train with. Another cool feature that will be available is the syncing of your device to the Nike+ website. The site will keep track of your progress, along with logging of competitive stats.

It is being reported that Apple and Nike will be using Wi-Fi and 3G as well. So instead of manually having to link your iPod to the site, all the data will be transferred wirelessly.

On a side note, I’m glad to see this come along. I went running for the first time in two years the other day, and it was pretty embarassing. I got lapped twice by this attractive girl, and needless to say it was motivation enough to go back. Having the Nike+ will be another motivating factor for me to get my lazy bum into shape.
