Qik moves to open beta

You no longer need to know someone who knows someone who knows the founder of a VC firm sinking money into Qik to get in on its rather lovely streaming video action. We're just messing around, of course -- it was never quite that hard to get into Qik's invite-only alpha / beta before in our experience -- but it just got even easier with the popular service moving into an open beta phase. Offering both S60 and Windows Mobile clients (with iPhone allegedly on the way), Qik does a pretty stellar and unique job of streaming live audio and video straight from your handset to your millions of adoring fans glued to their computer monitors around the world (or just your mommy and daddy, as the case may be). So go sign up, paste your username down below here if you're so inclined, and just be sure you're not recording when you... ahem, don't mean to be. If you catch our drift.

How exactly is the iphone supposed to use this application since it doesn't even do video?

I've signed up but they are still telling me that when it is ready, they will let me know. I am on a WM device.

I don't mean to shoot Qik down but i feel they are a one trick Pony i think there are alot qiker Live Streaming Websites around the Web.

But alot of these Live Streaming sites have more than one App and other Elements to there Website rather than just Live Streaming.
