The latest update to Qik’s Android app has brought along cross-platform video-calling. That means Android 2.1+ users can bug iPhone, iPod touch and iPad 2 users, and vice versa. The app also lets you share videos on your social sites, and send video mail – which is offered free until June 1, and will cost thereafter. [Qik via Android Community]
Qik launched its new iPhone app yesterday, and it’s rather brilliant. But one of the more impressive features is yet to come, with an update to the Qik Android app on its way that will allow cross-platform video chat.
Skype owns Qik now, but that hasn’t stopped them from coming out with an iOS app to rival Skype’s own. I guess if the family takes on FaceTime together, all the better for Skype. Anyway, Qik’s Video Connect Plus app lets you video-chat over 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi, plus record video mail.
On first mention, video-sharing app Qik had one majorflaw: Video streaming could only be done over Wi-Fi. But thanks to an update of this currently free app, you can now stream live video over 3G.
Qik’s handy video streaming app has been out, in real or test release for the iPhone, HTCs and Nokias, but not Blackberrys… until now that is. The company’s just released an alpha version BlackBerry client, working best under the 4.5 OS, and running on Pearl 8120/8130, Curve 8320/8330 and Bold. A version for the flip 8220 is due soon.

Qik, the service that turns a smartphone with a data plan into a live-streaming webcam, now works with over a dozen feature/non-smart/dumb phones with a new J2ME client currently in alpha. If you’re a proud owner of one of the following 13 phones, you can start fiddling with the alpha today; and on top of that, Qik wants your help in bringing the Java alpha up to speed on another 10 S40 Nokia phones that are currently unsupported.
Good news for HTC phone owners, Qik is bringing its popular video streaming service to the Touch Dual, Touch Diamond and the TyTn-II. They are also adding two other Windows Mobile phones to the list: The AT&T Tilt, and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. All you need to do is set up a free account on the Qik website and you will be streaming video from your handset in no time. [Qik]
