Lightbulb Just an idea/question

Just got an idea, but it might be stupid so help me figure it out.

I am getting an Iphone this friday, and going to the show on the 5th. The iphone has a microphone, and access to the internet. I don't know if its possible.. but if there is a way that it is possible.. what's to stop me from streaming the show live for everyone who cant go's enjoyment?

are there websites that enable anyone to stream audio live from where they are?

i honestly know little/nothing about setting up a live stream. Anyone educated on this matter?

You can't install programs onto the iPhone. The internet is only fast if you're on wi-fi. Chances are you won't get on Wi-Fi inside the club. The only way to do it would be to stream over the phone, but ANYONE with a phone could do that.

The iPhone will run 3rd party apps thru the browser, but even if someone developed something like this, the shitty AT&T EDGE network is not fast enough to support the upstream of data. This is the main reason I think most people will be let down by the iPhone. They don't realize that using the internet features (and Google maps) will be PAINFULLY slow using the AT&T data network. All those blazing fast speeds you're seeing are when connected via Wi-Fi.

true.. i understand this.. but lets say, hypothetically that i get a wifi signal in the club.. because there is a coffee shop on the block or something.. then would it be possible?

Probably not. The phone is so locked down that even if someone wanted to develop an app that does this, they might not have the hardware privileges to do it. Also, if it WAS possible, it definitely won't be available on release date.

I've suggested people do this with http://stickam.com , however with the iphone I dont think this would be possible.

HOWEVER

What you could do (or anyone with a cell phone that has good audio pickup), is to call someone that has stickam setup, and have them stream the show.

Also, even if it was possible, it would sound like shit. The iPhone is a cool ass phone, but it's still a phone. Might as well just put the phone on speaker and set up a free conference call at www.freeconference.com for a bunch of people to listen in on. It will still sound like shit though!

I've never used it, but that stickam.com site looks like it can do that.

Do you mean like Cell phone at show ----> Phone at home ----> Computer speaks ----> Netphoria?

I wonder how that would sound haha. Not like I would complain :P

Yeah, that was a spur of the moment idea on my part. If you're talking about just a cell phone that online conference call thing might be a better idea (I hadn't realilzed that there were free services for that)

Interesting thing about stickam though is that it works entirely on flash. So there is a very remote chance that the flash on iPhone's browser may be able to interface with the iphones mic. I highly doubt it though.

I'm almost positive that the iPhone doesn't support flash.

the bandwidth that you get on a cell phone inet wont be better than 128kbps so i think that is the biggest factor. don't even worry about trying it. best thing i can suggest is posting on netphoria all nite with a constant edit to your post giving us the min by min update.
depending on what my camera duties will be, i plan to do this as well.

i turned the image off for the second run... the sound was playing from my comp speakers.. and also picked up from my comp mic (playing starla video from last night).. so i am sure it was shit.. but in theory, was it listenable.. if it were live from a real show?

Unless you're brining your laptop to the show and get internet, you're wasting your time. This site won't work with the iPhone.
