Yesterday I wrote about the Justin.tv kit being available on Dynamism and mused about a UMPC version. I guess I jogged Chippy's memory because he broke out his UMPCs and finished up his lifecasting tests and the results were very interesting:
During that time though I managed to fully test the Everun, Q1b and Q1 Ultra with stream. The Everun tops out at about 350kbps upload (Max HSDPA upload speed). The CPU just couldn't drive any more... The Q1b managed to push around 500kbps up but the CPU was locked at 100% and you couldn't even get a TIP window up. No use for chatting in a live chat window as I was dong on the Everun. The Q1 Ultra managed to push 700kbps and obviously gave the best result. Again there were problems using other programs at the same time tho.
Chippy went on to try another webcam and the results were rather dismal, the other webcam's drivers made it impossible to use on any system. I would be interested to see a test of a couple of different webcams to see which performs best for each system. I really don't know why I'm so fascinated by lifecasting, but I do see it as a place where UMPCs will excel as the platform of choice. The more I think about it, the more I get excited about getting my HSDPA modem and giving this a try.
