I'm current on the road from a business trip, (passenger, not driving) and I really want to catch the conferences today and tomorrow. Does anyone know if that's possible on the iPhone?

(I know technically it's possible with Orb, since Orb can stream live TV from a computer with a tuner card, but I don't have a setup that currently allows that.)

Anyway, anyone know what I can do?

TheGreatDave · Jun 1, 2009

UStream has an iPhone app. I assume some people may be streaming the conferences though that site. Worth a shot, I think it's free.

Dacvak · Jun 1, 2009

I checked out ustream. That actually doesn't work out because I don't have a required wifi connection.

How about this: anyone know of any really good update blogs?

RiggenBlaque · Jun 1, 2009

I'm in a similar situation, does anyone have any links to the ustreams? I can't find any.

NekoFever · Jun 1, 2009

Eurogamer's liveblogs are usually good. Can't help you watch it, but it's the next best thing.

Eurogamer always has awesome live updating text during the conferences.

Maybe Twitter?

Yeah they are pretty funny too. Just go that route and catch it later on gametrailers.

How quickly do they usually update on Twitter during E3? I'm really just looking for a liveblog I can follow from my Blackberry, but if Twitter updates frequently like a liveblog for E3 I'll use that.

Dacvak · Jun 1, 2009

That eurogamers feed sounds pretty good. Can I ask a favor of someone on here? Surfing on my iPhone in the middle of nowhere (Texas, atm) can be obnoxiously slow. Can anyone post a link to the eurogamer feed now or when it starts up?

We'll be streaming the Sony and Nintendo press conferences live via Ustream. We're a featured provider on Ustream so when we go live you'll see the 1UP stream on the iPhone app. If you have a wifi that is.

If you get a good Twitter app that auto updates, and just search for the E3 hashtag (if people use #e3 or #e32009 more remains to be seen. There'll be a flood of tweets.

Eurogamer's live blogs are the worst. They too often trade in the facts about what's going on and being shown at the conference (you know, the reason you are reading a live blog) for insipid "hilarious" commentary.

what would you recommend, then?

joysuq's live blog is actually not bad, historically. Twitter is going to be the thing though.

Really, unless GAF goes into 500 mode, the official GAF thread is the bombdiggidy. You don't need anything else. You'll get the best quotes from all the feeds, all the Tweets, and all the live blogs, all in one GAFTACULAR place.

Except that the GAF thread will get one piece of info then 500 worthless replies, so using mobile sometimes it's hard to wade through the crap to get to the facts.

honestly, nothing will serve you better on an iphone than this:

First off, with the iPhone web app for NeoGAF, (link posted just above this post) browsing GAF is almost just as easy on the iPhone as it is on anything else.

As far as content goes, the mods fix this problem easily. They could set up a thread for just compiling live blog coverage, Tweets, ect. With a "no commentary" rule.

Have another thread where GAFers can share their comments.

RiggenBlaque · Jun 1, 2009

Can someone tell me if this is just a mirror of the GT stream?

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/e3live

I know the little ads for the weak ass gaming site are annoying, but this is the only thing I can find an I want to make sure it's legit.

Diablohead · Jun 1, 2009

you might have to live blog it and then watch a youtube video afterwards.

I second this. The GAF iPhone app is a godsend.

This made me realize, we're not getting any awesome Jeff Green live blogging are we?

What about when it inevitably dies, along with GAF?

Thanks, Big Fun. I'll be watching.

good point.

I guess then any webpage that updates via plain old text instead of U-stream would be OK.

Look on live blogs. Pick your journalist and read it. Don't worry the videos will be around once you get back on a computer.

Is there a way to watch the E3 conferences on an iPhone?
