UPDATE:<\/strong> I removed a link below to one of the examples, as it was no longer available. You can also check out the NASA TV app<\/a> in the App Store, instead of using the NASA TV stream that was available at the time of the initial post.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I talked about one of the more “hidden” features of iPhone OS 3.0, HTTP Live Streaming. While I posted a link to a site that breaks down the tech behind the feature, I hadn’t actually had an opportunity to see it in action. So today, I decided to do a quick Google search<\/a> and discovered two separate sites that allow you to play with this awesome, awesome new feature.<\/p>\n

The first is from Inlet Technologies, who partnered with Akamai to create this<\/a>. Now, if you’re on your iPhone, you’ll see the site proper. If, however, you’re using your desktop computer, you will see a different format of the site and you cannot watch any of the live streaming video, only video on demand. However, from the iPhone, it is easy to fire up a stream from NASA TV and just watch an endless stream of video.<\/p>\n

The other site is not yet publicly available, but it seems that getting into the beta merely requires submitting your info and waiting for a response. You can do that here<\/del>.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have an iPhone, or if Akamai’s site doesn’t seem to be working properly for you (which might happen if you’re not using Safari 4 and the latest version of QuickTime), then you can visit this site<\/a> to see an embedded video of the tech in action.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the future. I’ll take my flying car, now.<\/p>\n
