"Qik is a little piece of software that enables you to stream videos directly from your phone to the Web. Use it to stream engaging videos to your friends in Facebook, Twitter, etc. or as your camcorder to capture entertaining and special moments...With Qik you can stream engaging video live from your phone to the world or use your phone like a camcorder to capture entertaining, interesting and special moments. Go LIVE with your life by streaming anytime, anywhere - right from your phone."
Qik has just entered public beta, with support for four WM devices: Samsung's SGH-i600 and BlackJack II, and Motorola's Q9c and Q9h. Future support is planned for four HTC devices (Shift, Touch, Touch Diamond, and the TyTN II). My one concern about this system is its effect on battery life. Wouldn't capturing video and streaming it over 3G kill a phone's battery extremely fast?
