Qik Cellphone Video-Streaming Now on BlackBerry

Qik's handy video streaming app has been out, in real or test release for the iPhone, HTCs and Nokias, but not Blackberry... until now that is. The company's just released an alpha version BlackBerry client, working best under the 4.5 OS, and running on Pearl 8120/8130, Curve 8320/8330 and Bold. A version for the flip 8220 is due soon. Press release below. [Qik via Slashphone] More »

Qik Video Streaming Finally Comes to iPhone

Qik has a video showing off a demo app for the iPhone, bringing the popular video streaming service to the Apple platform. The iPhone isn't designed to record video, but Qik has not only made it possible to record, but also stream it to their lifecasting site, where people can watch your handiwork. Much like the video apps from Sling and Flixwagon, Qik appears to be running an unofficial app on a jailbroken iPhone. The demo looks very plain, in terms of UI, but the video streams to the Qik site like any other phone client. Qik expects to get alpha versions of the software out soon. Consider us interested.

Qik's Cellphone Video Broadcasting App Coming to Windows Mobile

Qik's been doing live video streaming (think live YouTube) from Nokia S60 cellphones for a few months now, but Mobilecrunch has the scoop that they're expanding to Windows Mobile phones shortly. The support and partnership will be officially announced next week at Tech-Ed, which will give WM users the ability to stream stuff like concerts and their wives giving birth (it's happened) direct from their handhelds. Qik's also thinking about the new iPhone, of course, but that's pending whatever features get announced next week. [Mobile Crunch via Crunchgear]

Qik Streams Live Video From Nokia Phones, Beats YouTube By a Parsec

Here's a video Lam streamed to me live, direct from his Nokia N95 phone in Tahoe using the qik system. Not only could I see and hear what he was doing in real time, I could even type to him and have the words show up on his phone. It only works on Nokia phones (N70, N80 and N90-series included), but just imagine the implications. You can be shopping and get someone's advice in real time, or snowboarding and showing off to everyone else back at Giz HQ how you tumbled and ate it. Much better than having to upload and wait for your YouTube movie to process. [Qik] More »
