Qik mobile video streaming pre-loaded onto Nokia N97

Mobile video streaming service Qik have announced that their application will be pre-loaded on the new Nokia N97 handset.

Qik allows anyone to easily stream live video from their handset, sharing their moments in real-time with whomever they choose. Users may “Qik” in private mode or share videos with specific viewers of their own selection, for the ultimate offering in user-determined sharing with friends and family or the entire world.

The new Qik N97 version comes with a number of new features, including a 19-language touch screen interface, support for nHD (642×358 16:9 widescreen) video, and the ability to share live streams to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social networks with a single click.

“This move reflects the progress of Qik’s strategic relationship with Nokia,” said Qik CEO Ramu Sunkara. “To be pre-loaded on all their Symbian S60 devices speaks to the confidence that Nokia has in Qik for its consumers around the world. We are extremely pleased that this pre-load is starting with Nokia N97, a truly game changing device.”

“We have been working with Qik since its entry to the market and have seen the way they have rapidly progressed to being recognized as the leader in the mobile video space,” said Rob Taylor, Vice President of Forum Nokia. “Qik was an obvious choice when we were looking to pre-load an innovative mobile video solution on the Nokia N97 and future Symbian S60 devices.”
