iPhone live video streaming finally available! Ustream Live Broadcaster now out

Ross Dawson, December 9, 2009 5:48 PM US PT

Yet another of the frustrating limitations of the iPhone has been fixed - with the launch of Ustream Live Broadcaster you can now stream live from both iPhone 3G and 3GS phones over 3G or WiFi.

Here is my first trial, using my iPhone as a camera to film the live stream on my screen - hardly great quality but from here the only way is up....

More info on the launch from Ustream, Techcrunch, NewTeeVee, while also news that Ustream competitor Qik has submitted their app to the App store.

Which still leaves my single biggest frustration: It is totally INSANE that you (STILL!!) cannot use an external keyboard on an iPhone.

I think Ustream would be the most exciting thing in the next few years. Even though is UMTS and WLAN the most protocol to transfer datas. Its a kind of revolution whats happening with the 3G and iPhone stuff. I´m sooo excited whats coming next.
Your video quality isn´t bad at all ;)
Cheers
