Livestream for Producers comes to Android, brings live video blogging over any connection just in time for Sandy

There is a new competition in town when it comes to livestreaming stuff in front of your Android device camera lenses, and it is the updated Livestream for Producers app. It now allows you streaming over 3G or 4G connectivity, and a single-tap login, including with your Facebook account. The app has been at the App Store for a while already.

Its strength lies in the ability to mix the live video streams over any connection, including slower 3G speeds, with picture and text posts, forming a live blog of sorts. You can also moderate comments in real time, and there is even an FTP server support so you can receive photos and video from a DSLR camera with Wi-Fi radio.

Livestream is now encouraging everyone to liveblog and stream their experiences during Hurricane Sandy, and will be featuring the best feeds on a dedicated web page.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Livestream (livestream.com) has released live video broadcasting capabilities to its Livestream for Producers Android App to help reach its goal of providing everyone with the tools needed to democratize live video. Features of the Android App include live video broadcasting and live blogging through posting real time text, photos and video clip. An iPhone app is already available for download.

The Android app allows anyone to share live video, photos and text updates of significant events in their work and lives. Debuting at the same time as "super storm" Hurricane Sandy, the Livestream android app offers a new way for users to share their experience of a once in a lifetime event in real time with their social networks. The free Livestream for Producers Android and iPhone App (available today) make it all possible at the highest quality performance on every network available - 3G, 4G, and Wifi.

"We're changing the industry's standards for live broadcasting from mobile devices by focusing on what matters most, video quality in cellular networks," said Max Haot, CEO and Co-Founder of Livestream. "Thanks to our innovative engineering approach, we believe our app is an unprecedented breakthrough in both video quality and reliability when streaming live over 3G and 4G networks making it the perfect tool for coverage under trying conditions."
