Qik was quick to hope on the XpressMusic 5800 bandwagon by offering support for their video sharing service just in time for the device launch. With a native app ready to go already, users will be able to record and stream video from their device to the web. I’m a bit stingier about my bandwidth usage, so something like 12 Seconds is more up my alley, but Qik has been steadily growing in popularity and targeting mobile very specifically. It’ll be interesting to see what other third parties become enamored with the Nokia Tube and decide it’s worth their time to support the new S60 Touch OS.
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
