Qik News & Articles

It looks like Skype (news, site) is preparing for a good year. The VoIP company announced the acquisition of Qik's mobile video software technology at this week's CES conference in Las Vegas.

Thanks to its numerous digital media capabilities, Kyte’s platform has already charmed its innovative little way into the hearts of many—including celebrities looking to share their activities with fans on an as-it-happens basis. 50 Cent and John Legend are among the famous clientele and both are known for using the platform to share mobile videos of their backstage shenanigans.

By engaging audiences in real-time multimedia communications, Kyte users can build and maintain large fan bases. Now, along for the ride with the intent to enhance the process is Kyte Dashboard -- a comprehensive, enterprise-grade content management and analytics solution.

It’s nearly a waste of breath to say that the iPhone is a super hot ticket. With cool factor, pinchable photos, applications galore and gigs on top of gigs for music, who isn't enamored? However true that may be, it doesn’t change the fact that business execs are, in surprising numbers, staying loyal (addicted?) to their BlackBerries.

And that little factoid is exactly why the recent announcement of the deployable package of Google Maps for Mobile through BlackBerry Enterprise Server is another way of saying "Hey, Christmas came early!" to crack-berried suits all over the globe.

Qik, the popular mobile video streaming service, has excited BlackBerry users by releasing a client for the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Pearl. Having Qik on your mobile phone turns your phone into a mobile video streaming device.

Qik users can employ the service to show videos from conferences and events, as well as to reach out to friends and colleagues.
