Gizmodo — ... The bummer for now is that though there are CSI, Gossip Girl and Trek full episodes, most shows aren't there yet. My guess is that it's just a matter of time before more come on board. Except Big Bang Theory, which apparently isn't down with the new tech.

Does CBS’s Streaming App Guarantee Sling’s App Store Approval?
jkOnTheRun — Television content on my phone is something I’ve long enjoyed, mostly through my SlingBox.

TV.com's new iPhone app: Pretty but spotty
Infinite Loop — Recently, I had the great pleasure of downloading the new TV.com iPhone application ( iTunes link ). This application brings TV.com video content right to your iPhone, working with both 3G and WiFi networks. Videos include content from CBS, Showtime, the CW, CNet and more. Before I get your hopes up, that's the same content you'll find on TV.com and on Hulu. If you're looking for full-length episodes of the Mentalist, look elsewhere. Most of the content is either old or clips, although there are some treasures to be found, like full-length episodes of Star Trek—that is, full-length episodes chopped into six smaller segments. The interface is very clean, but there ...
