Webcasting Live

I've always like the idea of being able to stream live content from my smart (Android) phone for others to view on the Internet, you know the same way you would stream live from your web cam on your computer.

I did some research online and the two most popular webcasting applications come from UstreamTV for Android and JustinTV for Android, both allow you to stream live from your Android smart phone and both offer the ability to promote your life broadcast to Facebook and Twitter for anyone to view once you go live.

I have spent a few days playing around with both applications to see which one offers the best video quality over 3G connectivity, I own a Motorola Droid with Verizonwireless as my carrier.

So I record some video while out at the beach riding my bike on a nice warm and sunny day. Below you see see two video clips from the UstreamTV and JustinTV applications.


Video streaming by Ustream

As you can see the UstreamTV seems to be choppy and very poor in quality.

Watch live video from motodroidlive on Justin.tv

Here you see the JustinTV seems to be a bit more stable and has better quality over the 3G connectivity.

So what do you all think, is the JustinTV application the better choice when it comes to broadcasting over 3G service?

Which is better? Vote Here!

Let me know which one is better UstreamTV or JustinTV?
