Qik Enables Live Video Streaming From 3G iPhone (56)
on TechCrunch (25345) permalinkQik, the startup that allows users to stream live mobile video from their cell phones, has released an application that allows users to use the service from their 3G iPhones. Unfortunately, the application isn’t available through Apple’s sanctioned App Store, so users will need to jailbreak (hack) their iPhones to use it. And because Apple has yet to enable video capture on the iPhone, we probably won’t be seeing a “legit” application any time soon. ...Shared by 88michael (39) Adrian (89) AJ (1003) Andrew Ruess (455) AnthonyB415 (31) Apostolos (111) Augmented Web (122) Ben (42) Bill Shakes (49) CannonGod (768) Carsten (136) Chanse Arrington (99) Chris (49) Christina (25) craig (261) Dan McCall (76) Dave (90) Dave C.
