NBC, the network that pulled its shows from iTunes because of differences with Apple, is now streaming two of its shows, 30 Rock and The Office, to the iPhone and iPod touch without ads, for free. This appears to be the latest salvo in the network's feud with Apple.

As the streams take up a lot of bandwidth, it requires a Wi-Fi connection. AT&T's 2.5G EDGE data network simply won't due. Look for this to change when the iPhone that supports the carrier's 3G network becomes available this summer. That should offer the pipe necessary to support streaming and downloading of such large files.

Head to over to m.nbc.com/iphone/fullepisodes.shtmlfrom within Safari to stream the shows to your iPhone or iPod touch. Keep in mind, should you exit Safari while watching a show, it won't resume where you left off. You'll have to watch the show from the beginning.

In related news, a sketch called iPhone: The Affair on Saturday Night Live featured a real live iPhone. No surprise there. It turns out the iPhone NBC used was jailbroken to run unofficial native applications. Now that's interesting.
