August 13, 2008 · Print This Article

If you have a jailbroken iPhone 3G, you may be able to assemble use of Qik’s application, which can allow you to stream live mobile video right onto your phone. And though Apple is unlikely to release a video capture app for the iPhone anytime soon, that will certainly suffice.

I think what’s particularly neat about Qik is you can broadcast live video right from your phone onto the World Wide Web for others to see. Of course, you will need to be on the 3G network or a Wi-Fi network for that to work. EDGE just won’t cut it.

That being said, the following directions were taken from the Qik website, and should help you get up and running:

1. whether you have not aly, you’ll need to sign up at http://qik.com/sign_up and receive an SMS from us to activate the application.
2. Launch

Cydia.
3. Go to the “Sections” tab at the bottom and scroll down to “Multimedia.”
4. Under Multimedia, you will find Qik. Tap on it soon after choose “Install” at the top right, soon after in the same spot tap “Confirm.”
5. Now you will see Qik get installed. You may hit the “Return to Cydia” button at the bottom or just quit Cydia when it is done installing.
6. You’ll now notice a “Qik” icon on your home screen - Go ahead and launch it.
7. As lengthy as your initial signup SMS/text data is still in your inbox for the first launch, your history will be linked to your device.
8. produce certain you have 3G service or are on WiFi (edge is not sufficient ample to stream video) before you start broadcasting.
9. Hit record and enjoy Qik!
