Just when we thought it would never happen, Digg founder Kevin Rose gets up on his speculation-soapbox and proclaims that the live video streaming iPhone application is due to hit the iPhone AppStore in the near future.
Rose isn’t exactly the go-to source for reliable iPhone rumors, but being the founder of Digg does give him some street-cred. Enough so that Mr. Rose apparently has a pre-release version of the Qik video streaming application running on his iPhone 3G. The version that Rose shows off in the video isn’t the Qik jailbreak iPhone application that’s available to anyone with a jailbroken iPhone, it’s the real-deal official iPhone application that is rumored to be hitting the App Store very soon.
Now, we can’t say how close the Qik iPhone app is to being approved for the AppStore, or even if Apple will allow the video streaming application into their locked-down world of iPhone applications. But, with a little luck, all us iPhone users will have an officially sanctioned version of Qik to pay with soon.
How this news bodes for video-streaming competitor, Flixwagon, remains unclear.
