Steve Garfield experimented with live vlogging with his Nokia phone earlier this month. Justin Kan of Justin.TV is walking around San Francisco with a camera strapped to his head and EVDO cards in his backpack for continuous live video. And last night, Chris Pirillo had Ustream.TV, Robert Scoble's Twitter might, and a blogger across the border to pull together a live report on the Mexico City Earthquake:

Scoble is going to do his own live-from-phone coverage of a conference next week. Periodic and archived video is vital -- after all, someone had to record Pirillo's live show to re-live it today! -- but it looks like pervasive "live" video, lifestreaming, whatever you want to call it, is here a lot sooner than most would've predicted.
