When we broke the news last week that Ustream.tv is working on a mobile streaming application, the only device we could verify support for was the Nokia N95. A few days later, we’ve received photographic proof that they’re cracking away at a client for at least one other popular handset: the iPhone.
Continuing a tradition long established in the world of pre-announcement photography, the shot we received is all kinds of blurry. That said, it came from the same source as last week’s video, so we’re confident that what we’re looking at is the real deal.
Along the bottom, we can see buttons labeled for broadcast, record, mute, and preferences. Above that is the chat history window which, according to our source, can be perused with the flick of a finger.
Apple has yet to allow any video recording applications into their App Store, so it’s pretty safe to assume that this application will be limited to jailbroken iPhones until Apple changes up their policies.
We’ll update if more details come in.
[Thanks again, Captain3!]
NICE! Woot!
Finally! I hope its in the app store though..
Very good news! I can’t wait. :)
And how exactly are they recording video if those APIs aren’t exposed to non-jailbroken iPhone apps?
Yeah exactly. Calm down everybody… it’s not going to be approved by Apple.
I HAVE AN IPHONE! I was scared they would only come out with an app for the N95 like everyone else.
THANK YOU USTREAM!

Exciting! Can’t wait to get my hands on it
Thanks You Ustream http://www.jugargame.com/
I can’t overstate how much I want this, right now.
Hey, I would love to be one of the first to try this out, PLEASE! I’m at koolkid86@gmail.com
I love Ustream so this is the cherry on top :)
@MGZ
I assume recording is down server side, so that isn’t a issue.
Ustream on the iPhone… so this is taking crappy video quality and making it even crappier. Oh, and the crappy quality is of mostly crappy content. Crappy squared.
Silicon Valley is still Silly-con Valley until startups like uStream turn back into hobby projects and people get real jobs making real stuff for real needs.
You sound like you really need a hug.
This would be really cool. So far I’m really loving the Qik app for jailbroken iPhones. I’m guessing this is where UStream will go too, but thats ok with me for now, since jailbreaking is so easy to do anyway.
