You have to get the 3G/data plan. I'm not sure how usable the iPhone is with any of the DRMed streaming video is. Due mostly to the DRM needing to be supported. Your bandwidth with 3G is also going to be dependent on coverage and signal strength, so it is not always going to have sufficient bandwidth. But playing back streaming video is also largely a matter of how long it has to buffer the stream, before playing back. So it's unlikely to be completely incapable.Though you can also use WiFi which will offer better throughput than 3G can possibly deliver. And it is a pretty good media player in it's own right, so you can just convert stuff from DVDs and such to play back on it.</blockquote>
