Excited for Qik on the iPhone

For a long time I’ve been jealous of anyone with a Nokia N95 because they’ve been able to stream video live from their cell phone to Qik forever.

Videoblogging is something that I’ve always thought of as fun and interesting, but like everything but Twitter it can be a huge pain in the butt to take the time to do it right. I think that if I could simply pull out my phone and start broadcasting, I’d do it a lot more often.

Now it looks like Qik has finally brought that functionality to the iPhone, albeit you need to jailbreak your phone to get it installed for now. Given that I haven’t jailbroken the phone yet, and the official release of the app store happens in a mere few weeks, I don’t think I’ll bother messing around with it now.
