Quick Review of the First Live iPhone Concert

It was a bit under the radar until the day of the concert, but Friday night, Techno group Underworld performed what was billed as the first concert live to the iPhone. We're not a music site, so we'll reserve judgement on the music, and focus on the stream.

The audio sounded great (or at least as great as it was miked at the event. The video, was ok. It certainly wasn't the same as watching a downloaded h.264 file, but it was watchable, we didn't experience any significant stuttering or dropouts. Hey, Akamai has streamed a few events in their time.

Worth noting, we watched the stream over wifi. If you want to check it out for yourself (just pretend it's live) head over to iphone.akamai.com from your iPhone and enjoy.
