Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"The folks who first showed us video streaming live from an iPhone, Qik, now have an official (non-jailbreak) app available in the App Store."

Basically this is a way to share what you are doing, while you are doing it via a live video feed. It is a free app but requires you to sign up for a Qik account (also free by the way). The app runs on iPhone 2G, 3G, and 3GS devices on 3G or Wi-Fi networks. You can also embed the video into your webpage and according to what I've read, it works fairly well for what it is. There is a short review of it at iProng Magazine.

"Qik users hoping for an official iPhone app can finally rejoice-as long as they have an iPhone 3GS. Other limitations sour the experience, though, and live streaming is still a pipe dream."

Qik has finally brought an app to the iTunes store, but it only works with the iPhone 3GS, you can only upload via Wi-Fi and you can't stream. So you have the integration with Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, but not having streaming would really hamper it in my opinion. Isn't that the benefit of using Qik? Has anyone out there used Qik with other devices and think lack of streaming is too big of detriment in the iPhone version to be useful?
