Qik, the leading live mobile video streaming platform, , expands their relationship with Nokia in developing a Qik application optimized for the Nokia N900 and Maemo software. Utilizing a new user interface, streaming live video from a mobile device is made easy with on-screen features including adding a title or adjusting the privacy settings.

With a high speed data connectivity over 3G or WiFi, a 5MP camera, dual LED flash and Carl Zeiss Optics, taking videos and streaming them with Qik has never been simpler than with the N900.

Qik lets anyone easily stream live video from their handset, sharing their moments in real-time with selected friends and family or the entire world. More than three dozen Nokia handsets are Qik-compatible, from mass market feature phones to elite smartphones. As a PRO member of Forum Nokia, the world's largest mobile developer support organization, Qik received tools and technical information to implement the seamless integration.

"Qik is an excellent example of a powerful, easy-to-use application available now for Nokia devices," said Rob Taylor, Head of Forum Nokia. "At Forum Nokia, we're looking for companies like Qik that distinguish our extensive range of devices and services from the competition to further elevate the Ovi Store."

Qikkers can share their Qik content directly from their handsets - the first such Share on Ovi integration to offer such easy cross-posting of live mobile videos. Videos can be uploaded automatically from their device without users having to manually send them via the phone or website. In addition, Qik users can send their videos to Ovi Share with just one click from the Share widget on Qik's website.
