CNET News Daily Podcast: How does Internet Olympic coverage rank?

The 2008 Summer Olympics can be watched online more than any Olympics past, which is no surprise. But how smoothly is all the streaming going, and how many people are tuning in to watch the Games on their computers? CNET News reporter and sports enthusiast Ina Fried breaks it down.

Plus, Business Week is calling Infineon's chip inside the iPhone 3G the root cause of the reception problems that numerous iPhone 3G owners have reported. The good news, according to the publication, is that Apple believes it can fix the problems with a software upgrade; the company is said to be testing an update that could be released as early as the end of this month.

I am not happy with the internet video. The way they have it set up you can't use it as a video rss feed. I like to stream the content to my tv and you can't with silverlight.

The quality is ok, nothing to write home about and the 4 screen option is pretty useless. My only real issue is with whom ever is titling the video. Why do they have to name it withe final results? I want to watch the match before i know the end. So many of the times instead of USA vs Japan the title will say. US men barely manage to hold on and win in final seconds. This is probably something Id rather see then know the entire time im watching the game.

maybe there is more video on the internet than ever, but definitely *not* from NBC and *not* available in the US.

online video only available after tv shows, like the phelps swimmings. (and they put the LIVE logo on TV, at least in SF/Bay Area where I watch, when it is actually 3hrs late!). this morning the men's track 100m has a new world record. where is the video? i am thinking NBC must be having a weekend break.
