Ever since Flixwagon posted their video demonstrating their application running on a jailbroken iPhone last month, iPhoners around the world have been eagerly awaiting the day Flixwagon finally goes live with their iPhone application. That day… is today!
Flixwagon beat Qik to the iPhone-punch in their announcement that they’ve gone live with their Flixwagon iPhone application. The application is still in alpha-stage testing, so don’t expect everything to run smoothly. But, without a native video recording option on the iPhone, we’re sure Flixwagon will be seeing hordes of iPhone users looking to get in on the public alpha program.
But, it’s not all roses and fairy-tales – there’s a bit of bad news. iPhone 3G owners and those that have upgraded original iPhones to the iPhone 2.0 OS won’t be streaming live vid-casts just yet. Only jailbroken iPhones running iPhone 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 OS are currently supported. Flixwagon hasn’t gotten their application up on the AppStore as of yet, so the only way to get your hands on the
video-streaming application is to jailbreak an earlier firmware, and find the Flixwagon application through Installer.app (more on that below).
Flixwagon for iPhone currently allows users to sign up for Flixwagon on their iPhone (no computer needed),edit video details on the fly, set sharing preferences directly from the device, edit video details and sharing preferences on the fly, and choose video quality settings.
Flixwagon is working on adapting the current Flixwagon iPhone application for iPhone 3G and first-generation iPhones running the iPhone 2.0 OS. They’ll announce the final product once it’s done. For now, enjoy all that sweet, sweet vid-casting from your iPhone. We’ll be stuck using our BlackJack II with Flixwagon as we wait 
for them to announce a solution for the iPhone 3G. Woe is us.
For those of you with jailbroken iPhones running v1.1.4 or v1.1.3 firmwares, simply add Flixwagon’s application repository to your “Sources” list. You’ll need to add the following to your “Sources” list: m.flixwagon.com/iphone.
If you don’t know how to add application repositories to your sources, hit up our tutorial here.
If, you’re still running an older iPhone OS (firmware) and haven’t yet gotten your jailbreak on, hit up our iPhone v1.1.4 jailbreak tutorial here. Then add Flixwagon’s application repository to your Source list, as described above.
