There's kind of this race to be the first popular streaming video service.
I've been working on something myself this past summer for Android. The difficulty is that you have to create something that can stream video at a high quality despite a poor connection. People will tolerate compression artifacts in a live stream, but on replay the video should be full quality. I think I've come up to a solution for this, but I've had to dig through a bunch of compression research papers.
Of course, if my little hobby ever takes off at some point I don't know what I'll do -- without a good way to monetize quickly, there's no way I can afford the bandwidth of streaming video.
I'm working on something similar and we are looking for an Android dev to lead the Android implementation. Would you be interested in having a brief phone call? My contact info is in my profile.

I am curious : would you mind sharing the research papers that you found to be useful ?
