Stream video live from your cellphone

There is a new service that recently started up called QIK, http://www.qik.com which allows users with a S60 capable Nokia phone to stream live. The experience varies with the quality of the signal be it either 3G or over a wifi connection and the steady hand of the phone owner.

I got up this morning to a twitter from Jason Calacanis who’s currently in Munich at the DLD conference. It’s pretty amazing when you can sit down with a cup of coffee and watch live events from participants around the world in almost realtime with nothing more then a cellphone in their hands.

The system is also interactive since it has a chat client on the website where you view the videos and they’ve integrated the chat on the authors side as a video overlay which is down right cool.

The video below is from Jason’s channel and will either show his latest post or it will actually go live when he starts a new stream.

Definitely take the time to check out Qik and here’s hoping for a native iPhone app that does the same thing though EDGE is too slow to accommodate decent video but there is always wifi.
