CTIA 2009: Live Video Streaming with Qik for BlackBerry Posted in Special Coverage on 02 Apr 2009 12:17 by Kevin Michaluk | 
58 comments
If you're not familiar with Qik, it's a pretty awesome social video sharing site that allows you to stream video live to the web as you record it. Their BlackBerry app is an 'alpha' at the moment, but you can give it a download (Bold, Curve, Storm, Pearl users) when you visit d.qik.com from your Berry's web browser. Be sure to visit Qik.com to get a good overview of what it's all about and leave your feedback in the comments so the Qik crew can make the app even better! Bookmark/Search this post with:

that would be good stuff to have if you do that sorta stuff i'm not into that but this might make it possible for my pearl :)
went onto d.qik.com on my stom 9530, and there was no OTA link available for the storm. there were links only for the bold, 8300,8310, 8320, 8330, and 8990 curves, and the 8120 8130 pearls...
this looks kinda cool.
I was excited to hear about this for the Storm, but like the person above, no Storm support yet :-(
Yea he said it was working on the storm....so where is the download link =-P
"qik for you storm is coming soon. Stay Tuned!"
I've been testing version 0.0.10 for the Storm.. What version is being released for the Storm?
(Bold, Curve, Storm, Pearl users)
uh no Storm listed, what a RIP!!!!!
Just Bold Curve and Pearl... pathetic...
It works on the Storm just fine, I've had it for about 2 months ;)
Well where or what version are you using?
0.0.10, they said they won't update it for a while. They are working on CDMA Curve and Pearl connectivity issues. They will work on any bugs and what not, but as far as major updates not for sometime.
Just logged onto their page and they show no support for the storm. Is this soon to come?
I had Qik on my jailbroken iPod Touch (Apple doesn't support it to put it on a non-jailbroken one) and it's a really cool App, I'm looking forward to getting this ASAP.
Storm is not listed on the Qik site???????
I had this on my Pearl for a bit now my Bold, but never really got it to work efficiently, I'm sure it's my incompetence and not Qik's though. It's usually my fault.
Please send problem details to blackberry@qik.com we will help you to solve the problem. Note your carrier, device, qik username
it is really annoying when they say it supports the storm but they dont have a link for it. i am trying the bold download to see if it works
Please report back. Thanks
Be nice to have Storm version. If you try Bold version you get message "Qik for you Storm is coming soon. Stay tuned!"
In time I guess...
I just gave it a try on my Bold. I was able to record, upload, and then view my small video!
I tried the Bold version on my Tmobile unlocked Storm 9530 and when I run it it says "Qik for you storm is coming soon. Stay tuned!"
LAME!
Did the same for me also! It was worth a shot!
Version 0.1.4
No connectivity for me on cdma 8330
So if you are testing this version where can we download it for the storm? Thanks!
I can't get Qik to work on my Verizon Curve 8330. It keeps yelling at me with "Qik has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall... etc"
I've Allowed everything in the Firewall settings...
Any help?
just like everyone else =(
Pretty Bogus they say its available for the Storm but its not on their web site ..
Pick me!
Not available for the Storm... figures... like a lot of other apps including Pandora...
I am reaching out as a member of the Qik team.
Thank you for your interest in Qik. We do have an alpha version for the Blackberry Storm and would like to invite you to test the alpha version and give us your feedback. The alpha version may contain a few bugs and we will be working to solve those bugs to make the version a better one for our users. The alpha version could be downloaded from your Blackberry Storm Browser at http://qik.com/dl/298.
If you have any questions, please email us at bb@qik.com.
We appreciate your feedback on the alpha version and look forward to hearing from you soon.
thank you MengKiat dling now!!
I have been emailing qik weekly since back in December asking for this alpha version and was repeatedly told NO. You had one, but wouldn't let me try it.
Will let you guys know if it works in a few minutes....
So far so good. Will spend more time tomorrow testing. Time for bed now.
Thanks QIK!!!
i would like to win something... i never win anything
The storm is NOT on the list so what should I do I think the idea is great & i would love to take full advantage of this alpha...
download via storm browser here
http://qik.com/dl/298
someone said in a thread on here that it's about a minute behind and qik is working on "live" streaming, bc it does not work as of yet
you mention it is offered, but there is not this application for BlackBerry Storm... too bad!
:-(
Someone from qik sent me the alpha a few months ago. the video was all distorted but i will be giving it another shot.
does anyone know how qik compares with the next2friends live streaming app?
crackberry says Qik supports the BlackBerry storm but when trying to download the app, storm is not supported
http://qik.com/dl/298
seems to work fairly well and it's a pretty cool app! I'm curious, can your friends see your videos if you send them the direct link while it's in Private mode or do you not have the choice of fine-tuning your viewer group?
cool stuff..
Look at that snapshot. Everyone is in suits, yet that hoodlum is dressed as of he's going out to get trashed. You would think RIM would have higher standards for events like this. Or at least the presenters would have more pride in themselves to know better.
told me it doesnt support BB when i registered but it has it listed as a phone that is supported. I will have to try from my phone
this is incredible... totally loving this program on my storm.......
Alpha version for the STORM 9530 --> http://qik.com/dl/298 <-- installed without a hitch. Video did upload to my account. First 5 seconds, the video feed keeps up with the online account, then falls off pace. There is a considerable amount of Lag time from the phone to the site to the point it either locks up, or just quits altogether. (It also could be my Internet service too, it's been buggy lately) Keep up the great work Qik. Looking forward to the next version.

When I start Quk I get the following error message
"Error starting Qik:
Class 'net.rim.device.api system.WLANInfo' not found"
My device is Curve 8320 T-Mobile (v4.2.2.180)
Does it need v4.5?
sorry, typo
Qik obviously
when I try to log on I get this message"The application Qik has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy." is there a soution?
My device is Curve 8330 Telus (v4.5.0.77)
