Apple has just sent out an email alert to iPhone developers that any new app submitted to the App Store will have to be ready for the iPhone 3.0 software, which is due shortly (probably around Apple’s WWDC event in June).

“Top iPhone apps make $400 to $5,000 per day” reads a headline over at Silicon Alley Insider.

Live Streaming Coming to iPhone? Apple Submits New Spec to IETF
Posted by Ara Pehlivanian in Mobile on May 5th, 2009
It looks like live streaming could be coming to a future generation of the iPhone and/or iPod devices. We’ve just come across this IETF submission containing Apple’s spec for HTTP Live Streaming which describes a protocol for transmitting unbounded streams of multimedia over HTTP. According to the document, the protocol supports encryption of the media and the provision of alternate versions of the stream. The media data can also be transmitted after it’s created, allowing it to be received in near real-time.
Could this mean live streaming is coming to our iPhones?
