Change.org represents the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transexual (LGBT) community who were outraged at a free iPhone 4 application titled “Manhattan Declaration”, a Christian app. It all started when Manhattan Declaration asked it’s users to fill out a survey about how they felt about gay marriage and abortion. If users replied that they approved of gay marriage they received a zero on the survey and were asked to donate.

LGBT got wind of this and began to take action by creating a petition which received over 7,000 signatures. The petition was presented to Steve Jobs(CEO of Apple) and in a short period of time, Manhattan Declaration was removed from the itunes app store. The Christian application company disagrees with Apple’s decision and states that they will fight the removal of their app using Facebook and Twitter.

Justin.tv CEO admits that they aren’t the first ones to take notice in the mobile streaming video market, not even the third or fourth. Services like Qik have been available for some time now. What makes the Justin.tv application for the iPhone 4 really stand out is it’s pretty impressive video and audio quality. It’s clear that Justin.tv wants to break free from the rest and leave the other services playing catch-up.

The Application allows you complete control from your iPhone, even down to registering an account and logging in. No need to visit the website. You can stream live video or record a video. It’s possible to shoot with either the front or back-facing camera. You can see who’s watching and chatting as well as chat back. It’s possible to stream video using Wifi, 3G or even EDGE, although, performance would suffer using a poor network like EDGE. You can pick it up for free in the iTunes marketplace.
