Droid Tips & Tricks: Three live video streaming apps, one streamed well

| | Comments (1)

pmksattruck.jpgThere are a few solutions for replacing that bulky live TV truck with Android, your 3G data connection and a streaming Flash window embedded in a web page.

I tested Qik, Bambuser and Ustream.tv

All three apps worked well interfacing with the Motorola Droid running Android 2.0.

All three offer some form of interfacing with social networks and manual embedding.

For me it came down to which service streamed the best and gave the largest picture. Qik was the only service that worked well at the time of testing.

Of course, none of my testing is scientific. The results could have varied due to many things at the time of testing.

Qik embeds as a single stream and the flash window turns into an archived copy, while Ustream.tv embeds as a specific channel and the window lets the viewer know that it has the potential of being a live stream. Ustream.tv also has a revenue share plan.

Exciting concept! More testing and a work flow to come.
