I know this has to be possible because Spotify and Pandora provide support but I can't see it documented anywhere. Does anyone else know how these skills support audio streaming? Thanks!
Update: As of today (August 24, 2016), the Alexa Skills Kit now supports audio streaming:

I just started work on live streaming on iPhone. So any help of how to do live streming in iPhone. I think if I can add video tag in HTML5 and then load that html in UIWebView will work.
Am I right? If not what is your sugestion to do live streaming. I want to embed some news channel live streaming link in the application so from where I can find those links.
You have to go through HTTP Live streaming document provided by Apple.There are some sample live streaming URLs.The file extension will be .m3u8.If you want to configure your own webwserver , you have to configure FFMPEG server in your webserver.The links which will help you
1)Apple document
2)stackoverflow
3)stackoverflow
4)stackoverflow
If you're making a web app in html5 then the video tag is a good choice.
But, If you're developing a native app then MPMoviePlayerController would be a much better choice. There are many example of how to use it online.
iOS doesn't support RTMP or RSTP, so your stream would need to be a HTTP Live stream. From memory the codec choice is very limited too, eg if you supply H264+mp3 you won't get any sound despite iOS supporting mp3.
Also remember that streams from other people (such as the BBC) will normally be protected by international copyright law, so unless you have prior permission to use their stream in your app you may be breaking the law.
Apple has some nice resources on Http Live Streaming.
I've been told that some apps have video streaming which streams initially and when completely downloaded the video is stored to the user's device for quick and internet-free subsequent viewing.
Firstly, is this possible? Secondly, could you point me towards resources demonstrating how it could be done, or possibly offer some insight to get me started?
Thanks friends.

Thanks

The iPhone doesn't support Flash, so using it isn't an option. You can, however, do HTTP streaming of video. Read Apple's documentation for more information.
Adobe announced during their Keynote at MAX yesterday that you will be able to compile Flash for iPhone apps. They have some sample projects available on the Adobe labs site
You can take those sample files and extend them to accomplish what you're looking for.
The native compile output from Flash Professional isn't going to be available until CS5.
Note: Flash is not native on the iPhone and will not run in browser. Also, apps will not have access to the video camera or the microphone.
No flash but you can stream mp4 etc.

I need to create streaming application on iPhone. I have gone through apple's developer forum already. What I want to do here is that I would be implementing my own streaming method. To start with I need to create an application which can get file from some URL using simple streaming and then will display in window (view). I cannot use browser here.
Can someone please help?
Isn't this (HTTP Streaming) or this (Apple live video streaming) what you intend?
Http live stream (for videos) has been released with the 0S 3.0.
It's not clear if you are talking about video streaming or else.
If it's audio streaming, check out this cocoa with love article.
A lot of people use this as their starting point.
