Mobile carriers worst nightmare has come true, thanks to Qik (Download Squad)

Jul 7th 2008 2:34PM Interesting post! Just a few clarifications:

1) Qik currently supports more than 30 handsets, with more being added as quickly as we can.

2) Our iPhone client has been in users' hands for several weeks now. It's an invite-only alpha, but we've already pushed out multiple builds and people seem to love it!

3) In addition to private and public modes, you can also choose to share your videos with a select group of people.

As far as comparing Qik to other offerings go, it's not really a fair one. Others don't have the live chat element that is exclusive to Qik, do not have an embeddable Flash player as Qik does, do not let you integrate other distribution methods (YouTube, Mogulus, Justin.tv, Seesmic, et al), and there are vast differences in quality. For example, Qik latency is down to 1 second, unheard of until...well, this weekend. :-)

Several broadcasters are loving Qik, and our team works closely with them to make sure our technology works as well for them as it does for our individual, non-commercial users. If we play this right, all sorts of business models are going to explode. ;-)

Freshly roasted coffee beans make the best coffee (Slashfood)

Oct 11th 2005 3:56AM I can personally vouch for the baked goods: They are made by the owner's wife, the journalist Nancy Rommelmann, and they are the very best on this planet. (See http://www.gastroblog.com/archives/002190.php and links therein for details.)
