New In The App Store – Ustream
By 
Ustream’s iPhone app for viewing live video on your iPhone or iPod Touch showed up last night. The app works quite well over WiFi and provides a picture quality that is certainly adequate for casual viewing. That’s the good news. The bad news is that, at least last night, there was nothing I could find that was really worth watching.
Fortunately, the app’s release comes just in time to watch the inauguration of the new American president today. Between 10 AM Eastern standard Time and at 3 PM there will be live coverage of the inauguration of the 44th president of the United States. A great day in the US that can be accessed from anywhere that has WiFi.
Hopefully the release of this new app marks yet another step in Apple loosening its grip over
iPhone application censorship.
It does something far more, however. Bringing streaming video to the iPhone is yet another step toward being able to access all media all the time. Just as TiVo released us from having to watch television in real time, access to streaming video from the iPhone means access to all video not just at any time, but in any location.
It is more than a bit amazing to see how much things have changed since the device was released a little more than a year and a half ago.
You can get it HERE in the App Store.
