Qik, the live mobile video streaming platform, has announced alpha support for Blackberry devices from Research In Motion (RIM), including Blackberry Pearl and BlackBerry Bold.
Qik's free service allows users to stream video live to the Internet in just two clicks from their mobile phone. Those watching the videos on the Web can take part in live interactive chat with the person broadcasting.
"We are excited to bring our lifestyle technology to the millions of Blackberry users worldwide," said Ramu Sunkara, co-founder and CEO of Qik. "In our quest to bring mobile live video sharing to the masses, we now support the broadest range of platforms including Symbian, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Java-enabled mass market phones."
Qik is initially launching in alpha on the following handsets running Blackberry Operating System 4.5 and above. Owners of the above 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 BlackBerry handsets is expected soon after.
