Here's another cool service. Its a bit like podcasting but with video. Its a service for cameraphones (and by this, of course "real" modern cameraphones that do record video - er, that means not you iPhone 3G, ha-ha..) Its a bit like YouTube or SeeMeTV but is both live broadcast and automatically archived for recorded viewing later. Its, well, Qik. Sounds fascinating. We heard of it via our friend Jackie Danicki. Check out what Tech Crunch writes about Qik.
Perhaps you didn't get the memo from Qik earlier today announcing that they are supporting the iPhone from next week?

Thank you, Tomi!
Don: We don't send out memoes. ;-) The iPhone story broke fast and furious (while I am on a business trip to LA). Glad you heard about it!

Hi Don and Jackie
Thank you for commenting on our blog
Don - haha, good point. But it does not really change the issue. It is not that other makers support video on an iPhone, it is that the Apple iPhone 3G is the only 3G smartphone that does not record video straight out of the box. That is bad strategy by Apple. There is almost no cost or penalty by Apple to add video recording, but now it is a "glaring" deficiency..
Jackie - ha-ha, thanks..
Tomi Ahonen :-)
