According to The Register, Apple has finally allowed an app into the iPhone App Store that will allow users to stream video via their 3G connections.
The EyeTV app will give Mac and iPhone users the chance to watch live TV or TV recorded to their computers.
Until now, Apple had strictly forbidden video streaming via AT&T's 3G network, purportedly to stop AT&T from seeing a large bandwidth increase.
EyeTV was initially removed from the App Store however, and developer Elgato stated: "Some test code that enabled live TV streaming over the cellular network was accidentally left in the the EyeTV App. Apple requested that we remove the code since their agreement with AT&T does not allow redirecting TV signals over the cellular network."
The app has been returned to the App Store today however, and 3G streaming is still available.
