Third latency test - Qik against USTREAM

In this test we run Qik Live against USTREAM on iPhone 3 GS over 3G-connection.
Please notice that you can't stream live with USTREAM before you get approval to do so (instructions).

Final results in latency/frame rate test:
  1. qik live
  2. USTREAM
  3. Bambuser
Before you go screaming for the qik live, please notice they don't support live chat but ustream does.
We will next move on to desktop streaming, resolution tests and later on to usability, features and API's.

Second round in latency test - QIK beats B second time

We were asked to run test again, this time with lower video quality. We lowered only Bambuser settings trying to get them to same level in frame rate.

PS. I've been asked to test QIK against ustream. I'll do that when I get approval of being able to stream live with ustream.

QIK wins first round in latency test

In this test we tested latency and frame rate of QIK and Bambuser, both with iPhone and Nokia. 3G upstream bandwidth was tested beforehand and they were about the same in all 4 mobiles. Both Bambuser and QIK were set to maximum video and audio quality.
