Ever since I got my first HDTV (a Sanyo 32” CRT) in 2007, I had been hooked on to the PBS’s HD nature shows. They had amazing footages from around the world and had an interesting storyline to go with it.
Earlier last year, I was elated when they announced their iPad app.
Now, PBS iPhone app is available in the App Store as a free download.
With the PBS iPhone app, you can watch current and the most popular shows from PBS for free right on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
The app comes with more than 300 videos including full-length features, segments and previews with new content being added daily.

- PBS NewsHour segments.
- Austin City Limits song performances.
- Special clips and full-length episodes from the PBS special CIRCUS.
