Video streaming service, Qik, today announced the alpha program for BlackBerry. Initial comments sound fairly hit and miss, but that’s testing for you. With one click, you can start streaming video from your Bold, Pearl, Curve or anything with OS 4.5 right to the internet. Qik on BlackBerry is something that I’ve been looking forward to for awhile, and I think between them, 12seconds and other burgeoning video services, BlackBerry is finally catching up to others in mobile video support. Maybe the BlackBerry Developer Conference opened up some vital APIs… To get started, hit up qik.com/dl/165 on your BlackBerry’s browser. You can expect the iPhone version to be coming soon, too…
Thanks Marin!
