Recently in mobile CategoryWe're happy to announce that our development team at the Flixwagon lab has successfully streamed the first-ever live high-quality video from unlocked iPhones to the web, using Flixwagon's alpha client.
While we don't condone or recommend unlocking iPhones, as avid iPhone users ourselves we wanted to experiment with ways to enable flixwagon on the iPhone, until the official SDK supports video. We're going to continue working with the iPhone SDK in the future so we can offer this functionality to all users once video becomes a standard part of the iPhone.
After Flixwagon is installed on the phone, users can broadcast videos with one click to the flixwagon website. Videos can be watched live or saved for later. Also, videos can be embedded in blogs via our flixee widget or uploaded to the user's YouTube account. Users can also easily determine which of their contacts to share each video with.
We'll release the iPhone version to our Alpha testers in July. In the mean time, if you want to sign up for Flixwagon or get updates on future roll-outs and supported mobile devices, click here. Also, feel free to follow us on Twitter for continuous updates. Finally, check out the iPhone demo below:

I was just reading at Go2Web2.0 about Samsung & YouTube's NewYears project. YouTube users are invited to answer one of the following questions in a short video (less than 1 minute long):
Users can also browse the videos using Google map and pick videos by location. I can easily answer question #4 and say that Samsung (and other leading handset manufactures) should embed the Flixwagon live mobile broadcasting service in all of the devices. That way, users will have the application preinstalled and ready to use when they get a new device :)
To make sure that we provide you the best video quality ever while broadcasting live from the mobile, we sent Sarig Reichert, a.k.a. Rigi, to test drive the Flixwagon service in a ski slope. These are the results:
