The problem is I have yet to see a livestream solution, that isn't based on Flash. I watch soccer and starcraft livestreams quite often, and also did so on my Android in the subway. On a tablet that what be a must have for me.

I haven't seen it get used very often, but during SJ keynotes, they have been using this. When I watched, it delivered really high quality video, and managed to stay way smoother than any flash stream I've ever seen under presumably heavy load.

Granted, Apple probably throws a lot of hardware at those events in order to make the tech. look good. So, not an objective appraisal by any means, but it's worked well for me.
