qiklocation Nikolaus & Raptor let me know that Qik has updated their application to v0.1.4 from v0.0.11. I heard rumors that this new version adds support for the Storm but I cannot confirm that so let me know if you try.

The new version brings:

  • Location awareness based on CellID or GPS. You can set the settings to: (more info)
    • Off: When set to this, the location from where you are streaming is not captured.
    • City: The location is captured and displayed at the city level, i.e. viewers will see the city from where you are streaming and nothing more.
    • Street: The street from where you start streaming is displayed to the viewer.
    • Track Live/Precise: In this case as you stream and move around, your location is tracked and displayed.
  • Qik’s interface has now also changed and if Wi-Fi is not available asks if you want to switch to 3G or stay
    with WiFi.
  • UI now lets you upload a video from the menu, name your video, describe your video, send a twitter alert of your video, and mute audio.

You can read more about Qik on their website or sign up at this link. You should be able to pick it up OTA at http://d.qik.com.
