qik is now available in Cydia. qik allows you to stream live video from your iPhone. Additional features include chatting live with your audience and automatically sending a message to your friends via Twitter and many other services. There’s also a mute button in case you need to hide private information. Here’s a clip from my first stream:

This app is great and even better that it’s free! I’d hardly complain about the quality because it’s LIVE video from your IPHONE. And by iPhone I mean the one that doesn’t even come with a video recorder. These guys came out with 2 great leaps in 1 app. Congrats to the guys over at Qik. I’m out, dude. lol

Josh reply on August 14, 2008:
You go to the website and sign up. They send you a text message. With the text message still in your SMS box you restart the Application and it automatically skips that step and authorizes you.
