So I was playing around the interwebs today and came across Qik the live video streaming app that's going to be on the HTC EVO. Guess what you don't have to wait for the EVO if you want this app. It's available on over 140 phones, Android, Blackberry and iPhone.

After playing with it for a bit it's good but not great. The live stream is choppy and if you close out of Qik immediately after shooting a video the full video won't upload. You can stop shooting, but you must leave the app open in order for the video to completely upload. There's a little status indicator in the top left corner of your screen that will change from connected to uploading and show uploading with a percentage.

You can check out the test video I did here.

I hear its better than ustream. i downloaded it and created an account before realizing what it was.

Yeah, Ustream ok. I'm kind of liking Qik because it posts to all your social media accounts and uploads to YouTube (yeah I know it's social media, I just don't consider it all that social.)
