Video broadcasting - Right on your mobile phone

If you happen to have a high-end mobile phone from Nokia, you can be a reporter of sorts. You can send live video to the internet right from your mobile phone.

Qik, a web startup based in Silicon Valley (where else?), has come up with a new software which allows you to send live video right from your Nokia mobile phone to the web, wherever you are. All you have to do is, point your mobile phone and capture anything you want through the mobile phone camera. You can go live and send it to the web and also save it for future reference. When you are done with your broadcasting, the video will be saved automatically.

The company has a list of Nokia N60 phones that support this software. You need to have any one of those phones to be able to use this software. Also, you need to have an unlimited data plan in order to be able to send live videos to the web, as videos can eat a lot of bandwidth.

This could be a great opportunity for people, particularly young ones, to share something live with the world. It could be anything – a simple party hosted by your friend, a small rock concert in your backyard, or your girlfriend making faces at you – you can stream videos to your friends right from your mobile phone. Damn; I’m kicking myself for not having bought a Nokia phone.
