Approved by Apple just in time to broadcast President Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony Tuesday, a new live video streaming app lets iPhone and iPod touch users watch events in real time on their handheld devices.

The app is free, but is it worth bothering with? I took it for a spin immediately after the swearing-in ceremonies today.
