Livestream is extending its video streaming platform to include the iPhone and iPod Touch users. What this means is that using Livestreem Procaster, you can stream video from a webcam, video camera or even broadcast PC/Mac’s desktop to all the interested iPhone/iTouch users over 3G or WiFi.
The streaming on the iPhone/iPod Touch works over Safari as Livestream relies on the H.264 HTTP live streaming functionality included in iPhone’s native QuickTime player, removing the need for any application install requirements.
However, this doesn’t mean Livestream has forgotten developers. Quite the contrary, they also unveiled a Representational State Transfer (REST) API, which developers can use to integrate live streaming into their own iPhone websites and/or apps.
Finally, if you want to start streaming some video to the iPhone audience, all you need is the mentioned Livestream Procaster, connect a camera, select iPhone 3G Quality and press “Go Live” button. It’s that easy and you can get additional details from here.
