I finally was able to install the iPhone/iPod Touch Livestation application. A new version was sent out that took care of the dreaded “could not verify” issue of the previous one.

My 1st impression of the application is that it is simple, easy to use and good looking. The current video quality is quite acceptable for “live” tv watching over WiFi. Watching over 3G is a bit more hit and miss but appear to work quite well when enough bandwidth is available. I will have to try it when riding the bus to work in the morning and se how it will tolerate 3G network quality changes along the way.

You can see some of he current UI screen capture below:

The video quality of some of the channels (for example NASA) appear to be slightly on the low side. Low enough that I would chose not to watch it due to constant “pulsing” of the whole video. I am sure this will be addressed in the future.

I have experienced a couple of crash already but this is an early beta and is expected.

I will keep you posted on the development of the application.

Cheers!
