Note: I previously posted this to the wrong category and was advised to post here instead.
Stre.am is a free app for broadcasting live video from your phone, with an emphasis on simplicity. We previously launched the iOS version, but as an Android user myself, I'm particularly excited about getting Android out the door now as well.
The app itself is designed to be as self-explanatory as possible, but the general idea is to sign up, hit the green record button, and your video shows up on stre.am with as minimal of a delay as possible.
From a technology perspective, the mobile clients are 100% native, and the backend services use a combination of Node.js+Express (web), Java+Play (api), and Scala+Akka (video transcoding/streaming infrastructure). I'd be happy to answer any questions on that front.
Thanks for reading!

So stoked about our recent Android release... Can't put it away.
TL;DR Stre.am is an amazing product, and free.
Somewhat related, but there are some other issues with trying to serve up HD mobile video, such as bad network conditions and capped usage. 720p video at 30 requires quite a lot of upload bandwidth (~1mb/s) for a good looking video.
