Just in time for the Obama inauguration, Ustream’s iPhone app launches
True to its word, the live streaming video site Ustream, has released its iPhone application into Apple’s App Store in time for people to watch President Obama’s inauguration on their iPhones live tomorrow.
The app, which I’m using right now, works great. I’m watching the famous Shiba Inu Puppy Cam, and the picture quality is very good. Unfortunately, the streaming video will only work over Wi-Fi and not a 3G connection, a limitation also found on other video streaming apps such as Joost. Even over Wi-Fi, I am experience some buffering, but it’s nothing too bad.
You can easily share videos with one click (to email them to friends). You can also search live streams and view upcoming ones. For videos with chatroom functionality, you can also chat from within the app - but you will have to login with a Ustream account to do so.
