Are you ready for the 3G iPhone?
With lots of speculation as to what Steve Jobs will be announcing on June 9th (next week) it seems that rumors are floating around that this will be the new iPhone with 3G, GPS and other capabilities. We have also heard of a lower price 1st generation iPhone to hit the market and be in the $200 range for people not wanting to upgrade.
What we are most curious about at Mobile Video Streaming Project (MVSP) is whether this new 3g iPhone will support rtsp Protocol, which is the Protocol for created for streaming videos real time from the web.
The first generation iPhone as we all now didn’t support this, which was a big pain in the *ss for some people who run mobile video sites. It’s not to say that you couldn’t stream video to the iPhone it was just a differnt process and we have described on our site in other posts.
We will be earerly waiting in line to get one of the new next generation iPhone and test this out. We would love to encode our videos at a higher bit rate for people using the 3G network. Speaking of the 3G network from AT&T, the coverage seems to be pretty good here in the Bay Area, but the question is are they ready for thousands of 3G iPhone users streaming data , surfing the web with out crippling the network? We will see.
Keep an eye out on this site next week from some of our results or as soon as we can get one of the new iPhones.
Btw if your a iPhone developer please contact us, we are looking for someone to create a player for our site.
