Qik, has announced that it is the first live mobile video product to launch on mass market mobile phones. Available today in alpha, Qik's service is ready for use on more than a dozen Nokia and Sony Ericsson mass market mobile handsets. With Qik's free service, users can stream video live to the Internet from their mobile phone, while those watching the videos on the web can engage in live interactive chat with the person broadcasting. "It's a real milestone for mobile technology that an advanced utility like Qik is now available on mass market cell phones," said Ramu Sunkara, co-founder and CEO of Qik. "We have been astounded by the use of Qik by smartphone owners, and are excited to see what mass market cell phone users will stream live to the Web." Mass market cell phones include non-PDA and non-smartphone handsets which are more accessible to a much broader market of customers. These devices usually carry a lower price point than more advanced phones. Qik's software for these handsets is based on the Java Platform, Micro Edition, (commonly referred to as J2ME). "Nokia is pleased that Qik's innovative live video service is now available for owners of Nokia feature phones as well as Nokia smartphones," said Tom Libretto, Vice President, Forum Nokia. "Qik's release for these phones adds an exciting new way for people to use an even wider variety of Nokia handsets." Qik is initially launching in alpha on the following handsets: Nokia 5300, Nokia 6300, Nokia 6500 (classic and slide), Nokia 6555, Nokia 8800 Arte/Carbon Arte, Sony Ericsson G502, Sony Ericsson K660i, Sony Ericsson K850i, Sony Ericsson K858c, Sony Ericsson W890i, Sony Ericsson W908c, Sony Ericsson W910i, and Sony Ericsson Z750i. Owners of the devices can get Qik by registering at http://qik.com/. Support for these devices is expected to enter beta in the coming weeks, and support for additional Nokia and Sony Ericsson feature phones is expected soon after. |
