Apple isn’t exactly fond of allowing 3G video streaming on the iPhone. The iPhone SlingPlayer app doesn’t come with it and neither does the recently released EyeTV app. Fortunately, there seems to be a quick fix for this as far as Elgato’s EyeTV iPhone app is concerned. When you try to run Live TV on a 3G connection, a warning will pop up stating that this feature will only work on a WiFi connection. If you tap OK, it will behave as such – a WiFi restricted app. However, tap on the text of the message instead, and lo and behold, you get Live TV streaming over 3G. We’re not sure how Apple will react to this once this news reaches their front desk, but wouldn’t it be simpler if they just allowed this features in all iPhone apps?
